Running her own labor-and public-relations business on the side, Mrs. Rosenberg (whose husband, Julius Rosenberg, is a Manhattan rug dealer) earned up to $60,000 a year for advising such clients as R.

PVO Leader Bo La Yaung (whose name means "Officer Moonshine") talked with War Minister Bo Ne Win (whose name means "Officer Sunshine"), then ordered his 7,000 troops to "emerge from darkness and work in the light in a democratic way." Thus ended Burma's third biggest insurgent group...

In the National Football League, clubs drew lots a fortnight ago. Six men made wry faces, but Coach "Bo" McMillin of the Detroit Lions clutched his slip of paper as though it were a sweepstakes winner, let out a happy bellow: "Hart!"
