...Ah, the children. How more saccharine than a sweet tooth they are. Pity the poor darlings. All they do is beam and fawn on Mama. Exempt the tiniest tot, Tara Kennedy, 7, who puts on a sizzling display of stagewise expertise in a song-and-dance duo with George S. Irving. A born hamster, she's good enough to wake up the audience. So is Irving. As Uncle Chris, a cigar-chomping, whisky-swigging lecher, he, at least, colors the stage something other than its prevailing gray...
...Ah, those fact-finding junkets that send conscientious Congressmen to the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids, the Louvre. Or, in the case of Kansas Senator Robert Dole, en route to a United Nations food conference in Rome, to the village of Castel D'Aiano near Bologna, where he hoisted one or two with some townsmen. Dole's visit was not so much a junket as a sentimental journey. It was at Castel D'Aiano 34 years ago that the Senator, then a young infantry officer, led an attack across the Po River.

...would be settled after his death. The Sunnis believe that its leader should be nominated by representatives of the community and confirmed by a general oath of allegiance. Shi'ites contend that Muhammad's spiritual authority was passed on to his cousin and son-in-law, 'Ah', and certain of his direct descendants who were known as Imams.

It is among the world's largest dormant volcanoes-it has not erupted since 1790-and its brooding presence dominates Maui. The crater of 10,000-ft.-high Haleakala (pronounced Hah-lee-ah-kah-lah) is seven miles long, two miles across and half a mile deep. While it has almost no vegetation save for patches of glistening silversword, the crater is dotted with rose-tipped cinder cones, evidence of minor eruptions over the centuries. It resembles nothing so much as a lunar...
RRRrrroooaaaadddd TT-trrriiipppp!!!!! Ah, the call of the wild is in the air again as hundreds of bleary eyed and book-weary Harvardians get set to stream out of Cambridge this week for the annual Spring break. But for eight dauntless Ivy Leaguers and their willing coach, the traditional exodus has a special significance. To the Harvard varsity golf team, it means the linksters will once again put the pedal to the metal and the wood to the ball and ease on down the road towards the Florida panhandle for a full week of tourney action against some of that...
