...paper was imprinted: "If this was napalm, you would be dead." This greeting, planned by a protest group that has offices in the same building, was accompanied by banners and placards taunting her about Viet Nam and hunger. As Pat gamely launched into her speech, seven barefoot girls in black burst into the hall and chanted an antiwar hex on her in crude doggerel...
...sleight-of-hand, it provides for a largely ceremonial head of state who is chosen by the Executive Council, or cabinet. But his duties include appointing the Executive Council, which conceivably will create a minor problem of who appoints whom first. The constitution also provides for a Senate with black representation but a permanent white majority, and a House of Assembly of 66 members to start. Of those, 50 will be elected by Rhodesia's 264,700 whites, eight by the dominant Matabele and Mashona tribes. The remaining eight will be elected by chiefs and headmen...

Soviet children, who learn the game in Young Pioneer youth groups, argue Sicilian defenses and queen's gambits with the same passion that American kids show when they talk about double plays...
...were highly individual artists. Perhaps their only unifying characteristic was exuberance-exuberance of size, exuberance of gesture. Instead of the carefully calculated stroke, there was the swirl of Pollock's drip paintings, the splattered brilliance of Willem de Kooning's terrifying women. Franz Kline's huge black-on-white compositions showed no more sophistication than a Chinese ideograph, but they conveyed the energy of the man that made them-and commanded a whole wall rather than a corner of a scroll. The smoldering color clouds of Mark Rothko drew a viewer in like a smoke-filled room...
