...Chou managed a tight smile. Mumbled Kosygin: "It is always a great pleasure." The glow lasted five minutes. Then Chou departed, leaving the Russian Premier to drive unescorted and unheralded to the Ying Ping Kuan guesthouse, where copies of a recent Peking People's Daily carried three acid poems of greeting to Kosygin.

Chicago takes particular pride in Cook County Judge Edith S. Sampson, 63, a strong-faced woman with an acid tongue for lawyers and infinite compassion for underdogs. A trained social worker, Judge Sampson got her master of laws degree at Loyola University, spent seven years as assistant corporation counsel of Chicago, and was twice appointed a U.S. delegate to the U.N.

"It's the end of the road, and nobody will be very excited if I live to be 71." But the acid old statesman with the snow-white mane and beetling black brows did seem to be mellowing after 16 years as Down Under's chief of state. He surprised newsmen with a rare birthday interview, chatted breezily for half an hour, even posed for cameramen before shooing them away with word that...
