Without protest, hard-bitten photographers put down their cameras, as attendants gently lifted down a stretcher and loaded it into a waiting ambulance. On it, swathed to his neck in heavy G.I. blankets, lay Pfc. Robert L. Smith, a 20-year-old soldier from Middleburg, Pa., who had suffered as grievously as a man could and still live. He was the first quadruple amputee of the Korean war.* Both hands were amputated, one leg was amputated at the knee, the other slightly below...
Gabaldón tentatively accepted the job, but added one condition: all political parties must be represented in the new government. Hard-bitten Lieut. Colonel Marcos Pérez Jiménez, the junta's boss, spurned the terms as "too idealistic."

Roaringham Fatback, the hog tycoon, ordered Onnecessary Mountain tilted sideways with enormous jacks to keep its shadow from falling...
...sunny-and therefore cheap-side of the bull ring at Zitácuaro overflowed with boisterous aficionados. Noisiest of all was a group of hard-bitten charcoal makers from the Michoacán hills who had stoked up well with charanda (cane alcohol) and come to see the toreros kill six bulls. "Long live Michoacán and her sons of Pancho Villa!" they bellowed...
