...merrymakers danced off into the night-and now it was the San Francisco police department's turn to be surprised. At 3 a.m. cops answered a call to turn off a noisy hippie party at a pad in Haight-Ashbury, chased the gang up to the rooftops, and beheld Rudi lying prone among the hippies on one roof, Dame Margot tucked away on an adjoining rooftop. That sort of ended the party, except for a trip to the station house, where Rudi screamed "You are all children!" as the photographers came swarming around-then back to work the next...
...President's Analyst. There too, but not in the script, stood Patrolman Melvin Schwartz, an honest-to-goodness member of the New York City Police Department, who had not been informed that they were making a flick on his beat. Patrolman Schwartz's eyes narrowed as he beheld the fleeing Coburn. He gave chase, caught Coburn, beat him around the head and ears with his night stick.

That view will be vastly different from the one that Johnson beheld twelve short months ago.

"You ran a beautiful 5,000-meter race Saturday against the Russians," said the President, in a rare mood as he visited the National Sports Institute in Paris' Bois de Vincennes. "Of course, your 10,000-meter was not so good, but then you had that Russian Ivanov against you-et il est formidable." Strolling on, De Gaulle found himself unexpectedly staring up at France...
Although they sent home a fortune in furs, the colonists were repaid largely with official indifference and hostility. "It is for traders to traffic where they please," pronounced the Empress Catherine. "I will furnish no men, ships, or money." Not until 1810, nearly 70 years after Russian eyes first beheld America, did a ship from the imperial navy enter New Archangel harbor, and then only with mischief in mind. Its captain, one Vasilii Golovnin, coveted the lucrative colony, which was in the hands of businessmen. In time, the navy pulled its rank and took control. Aleksandr Baranov, resident manager...
