...much the same all over. In Greenfield, Iowa, seven-year-old Craig Baudler made the paper for running his collection of salamanders up to 16. In Chicago, where a year ago this week the confrontation of cops and youthful demonstrators polarized the nation, the talk in blue-collar saloons and on the commuter trains was of the Cubs and Ken Holtzman's no-hitter against the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta's Mayor Ivan Allen casually headed for a ranch in Wyoming where he can get in touch with his city hall only by a horseback canter...
...much can one man take?" a Kennedy intimate asks. By last week, before he left Washington for three days of sailing off Cape Cod, Teddy's complexion had turned sallow and his bright blue and usually merry eyes had become dull and distracted. He had begun to greet acquaintances with a hesitant, questioning glance, as if fearful of their suspicions and doubtful about their loyalties. Frequently he avoids looking people directly...
Pizzicato passages, stratospheric glissandi, cadenza after cadenza-the balding, blue-eyed violinist tackled each without hesitation and butchered each in turn, always about a quarter-tone off pitch. Eventually, the concertmaster mercifully took the solo play away from the wounded virtuoso. The Aspen, Colo., audience was delighted by the shenanigans.

Premier Golda Meir, speaking in Haifa, replied that "if the Lebanese authorities do not deal with the terrorists, we shall have to do it." Almost certainly, the Israelis' method will be air strikes. They are finding air power to be quicker, less costly in casualties, and at least as effective as commando raids or other ground actions. From Suez to Syria, the white contrails of Israeli jets, only occasionally challenged by Arab MIGs and Sukhois, etch the blue summer skies...
...preferential treatment continues right up to the teller's window. Club members do business in a special section of the bank decorated in lively shades of yellow, green and blue that contrast sharply with the beige carpets and gray draperies found elsewhere. Club members pay a $3 monthly service charge and must open accounts at the bank with a $50 minimum deposit. In return, they receive 30 rainbow-colored free checks a month, a free $10,000 accidental-death policy and an open line of credit good for up to $2,000. Most accounts start small but soon grow...
