...every Sorbonne student knows, the road to raising hell in Paris is paved with good ammunition. The cobblestones of Paris, first laid in 1185, cracked against police helmets in the antiroyalist riots of 1830. They helped arm the socialist revolutionaries of 1848. They provided the enduring arsenal of the Paris Commune in the great battles across the barricades in 1871. With such textbook examples of tactics, it was hardly surprising that the student rioters of 1968 found the paving stones of the Left Bank a prime weapon in their nightly insurrections against the Gaullist regime...
...policemen-two patrolmen and a lieutenant-were dead and another 14 wounded within 30 minutes. "We were sucked in," said Detective Gerald Viola. "They were just waiting for us." Three men tried, one by one, to rescue Sergeant Sam Levy, who had been hit in the chest and one arm and lay in the street. One by one, each was wounded...
...nine years, winning 20 games in 1965 and 21 in 1966. He was headed for an other 20-victory season last year when a line drive broke his left leg and put him out of action for six weeks. Neither that injury, nor a chronic soreness in his right arm, prevented Gibson from playing the hero's role in last year's World Series against the Boston Red Sox.

Eleven Straight. This year's encore is even more impressive. The soreness in Gibson's arm has disappeared ("I didn't do anything special about it," he says, "it just went away"), and his performance is one good reason why St. Louis, with a 12½-game lead, has made a mockery of the National League pennant race. Other hurlers around the majors have won more games, of course: Detroit's Denny McLain already has 19 victories to his credit, San Francisco's Juan Marichal 18, and Cleveland's Luis Tiant 16. Gibson...
Everyone keeps track of the statistics, grim or absurd. Since the Military Armistice Commission began meeting, North Korea has charged the U.N. command with no fewer than 56,889 truce violations, most of them such minor procedural matters as the presence of improper arm bands on U.N. guards. The U.N. has admitted 93 violations and charged North Korea with 6,313. Pyongyang has admitted only two, the last one in 1953. It is so adamant about not taking blame for the increased tensions along the DMZ that it refuses to accept the bodies of slain North Korean soldiers, insisting that...
