Epitaph. The rescue squads were too late; the wreckage was complete. Charred, dismembered bodies were strewn everywhere. Some were found speared in the earth, others with their heads bent low as if they had been given last-minute emergency warning. Here and there were couples locked in frantic embrace. A farmer working in the field was killed, another severely injured...
...Anglican Assembly; "that is why I have enjoyed it as much as I have." Then, touched by the 40-minute eulogy-filled farewell of his colleagues, the retiring primate continued his uncommon burst of self-revelation: "I have asked myself once or twice lately what was my natural bent. I have no doubt at all: it is to look at each day for the evil of that day and have a go at it, and that is why I have never failed to have an acute interest in each morning's letters.

...N.B.A. has become a truly national league. N.B.A. attendance, which jumped 23% last year, is up another 20% so far this season.

In time, they believe, the bent beam may provide: 1) a new tool for studying the effect of solar eruptions on the earth's magnetic field; 2) a new method for long-range surveillance of missile activity behind the Iron Curtain; 3) jam-proof long-distance communications...
...first look at the color and shape of the spring lines-and found themselves looking backward. The new look was the old look of the F. Scott Fitzgerald flapper in the 1920s. Skirts and coats were straight, short, with hemlines flaring. Shoes were square-toed. Bosoms were flat, backs bent and billowing, with designs that required the mannequins not only to slouch but virtually assume the posture of an expectant, concave catcher's mitt. Though Paris fashions have been irresolutely marching backward for several seasons, the big, bold step this year was apparently inspired by a hit movie running...
