...morning it was apparent that something was seriously wrong with the former First Lady, who is 64. Her husband was the first to notice her problem when he found her in the kitchen trying with difficulty to open a jar of coffee. She also had trouble moving her left arm and left leg. The left side of her face was partially paralyzed, which caused her words to slur. When these symptoms became evident, she was rushed by ambulance to Long Beach Memorial Hospital, 36 miles up the coast from San Clemente. Riding with her were her husband and her daughter...
...about being duped by a scheming man, about being poor and miserable in the streets of Harlem. "There are certain kinds of emotional pain that make me feel horrible," Shange told TIME's Jean Vallely. "I ache. I feel like I have these terrible hot rods in my arm. When I'm in that particular pain and despair I don't have any hope, any sense of the morning. I want to get out of my body.

William Larsen is acceptable as the paranoid and pompous Reverend Samuel Parris, who won't give an inch about anything: "I am not some preaching farmer with a book under my arm; I am a graduate of Harvard College."

The Arm & Hammer baking soda people provided most of the financing; the flag's acre and a half of bunting with 11-ft. stars was supplied by New Jersey's Annin & Co., the nation's biggest flagmaker, which has sold some 40,000 official Bicentennial flags...
...moonlit night last summer, Bushnell and his younger brother Ezra stealthily took the Turtle out into Long Island Sound for its maiden cruise. Squeezing himself through the hatch (the oaken vessel is only 7½ feet high), Bushnell seated himself on a horizontal beam, seized the tiller with one arm, let in water through a valve at his feet and slowly sank beneath the surface. He then maneuvered the ship forward by turning a crank that spins a two-bladed propeller (the propeller can also be turned backward). After about 20 minutes under water, Bushnell began...
