...those fears have not been realized. Last week, as millions of youngsters left the ghetto streets to return to school, the usual riot season more or less ended. During the summer there have been no disorders as big or bad as the holocausts that gutted Watts, Newark or Detroit in previous years. The U.S. had 286 racial disturbances from May through the end of August, but most were relatively small and short. Though practically any city could still blow, the summer of 1968 now ranks as the most tranquil since...
...Philip Johnson, 62, who has designed half a dozen museums and an underground gallery for his own soupcan-to-nuts art collection in New Canaan, Conn. In fact, it was the Kreegers' plight as fellow collectors that made Johnson forswear his resolve never to design another house. "Too bad," said Kreeger when Johnson first turned them down. "We had hoped you would help us with a dilemma." "What's that?" asked Johnson, perking up. "We like lots of glass, but we need wall space for our collection."

You don't develop it, and I thank God He gave me both."

In Baltimore, when he was taken out of a game, he threw the ball at his manager and tossed his glove at the dugout. His control that day was so bad that the ball sailed over the dugout roof and into the stands...
...airplane she was on went into a holding pattern over New York. Cracked Carson: "She wasn't even pregnant when she got on." Flying through the Washington-Chicago-New York area known as the Golden Triangle has not yet reached that extreme. Still, delays have become so bad that the Federal Aviation Administration last week proposed limits on traffic at major airports in the triangle to make air travel more manageable. The rules are meant to cut down on air and ground holds, which this summer have caused thousands of passengers to arrive at destinations hours late...
