Purple Dye. Student reinforcements poured into the wide plaza outside the station. To the bleat of whistles, the students trotted forward in their snakedancing columns, chanting, "Oppose the Viet Nam war!" and "Down with the Security Pact!" Many were stained by the purple dye which had been mixed with the water in fire hoses used to fight them off in an earlier attack on Japan's Defense Headquarters. Though students had also tried to assault the Diet building and the U.S. embassy, Shinjuku had been chosen as the major target because it is the departure point for many...
...such out-of-the-way places as the Louvre, the Champs Elysées and the Tuileries, marking this second-rate souvenir "For export only." Aznavour's tragicomic twinkle shines through in such films as Shoot the Piano Player, but here he is required mostly to moon and bleat. Finally, the girl tearfully returns to her pad in London and the wife cheerfully returns to her flat in Paris. To explain his behavior, Aznavour tells a friend: "It's never too late to act twelve years old." That is true only...

...middle-aged white man who was dressed in shirt and tie with his suit jacket slung over his arms. The man ducked and dodged the clubs, seeking a way out. Fear showed in his fce and he looked as if he was about to scream or cry or even bleat. The suit jacket was dropped and forgotten. Still the horses came, battering him. At last he plunged to freedom, and the laughing riders let him flee...
...antennas that carry Radio Cairo's message to all the world. Cairo's voice bears many accents. There is the overt Voice of the Arabs, and a whole concatenation of '"Voices" (Voice of the Arab Nation, Free Voice of Iran, Voice of Free Africa, etc.), which bleat incitement to rebellion with no identification of their Egyptian origin. The transmitting complex is elaborate and devilishly clever. Recently, Somali-language transmissions have supported the claims of Somalia to a portion of northeast Kenya, while Swahili broadcasts aimed at Kenya denounce the idea. A U.S. construction firm is building...
