...modern times sprang up first about 1870 at, of all places, Beirut, among, of all people, Christian Lebanese students of the American University of Beirut. U.S. education, received by Christian Arabs, was the first modern catalyst in the retort where Arab unity began to simmer and then to boil...
Britain's wealthy, mink-loving Lady Docker, her temper bubbling to a boil, sat in Monaco's overstuffed Hotel de Paris and mulled over the insult: all she wanted was to take her son Lance, 19, to a reception given by Prince Rainier and his Grace to celebrate the baptism of their princeling, Albert-and some palace flunkies had had the nerve to turn Lance away.

...most rugged, down-to-bare-facts night life on the continent of Europe-at decent prices and under non-clip conditions, too-Hamburg wins the diamond-studded G-string by 6 bumps and 24 grinds."

There are hunting and fishing groups, a men's discussion group named The Carpenters ("they try to face real realities"), a Woman's Association, a boys' hot-rod group, "family festivals," camps for all ages, a radio program, a chatty church newspaper, ten choirs ("SING! SING! SING!" says a recruiting pamphlet). In a recent sermon, one minister ruefully quoted a newcomer as saying to another...
