...eight, all under 15, were charged with juvenile delinquency. One of these, a 14-year-old boy known to his pals as "The Little King," proudly bragged to detectives that he plunged his knife deep into Farmer's back "to get the feeling of a knife going through bone." As he withdrew his blade, he told the dying boy: "Thanks...
...more aware of this than the derrick monkeys, roughnecks, rock hounds and pebble puppies sweating in the 130° heat at Hassi Messaoud. Not for pay alone, which averages $400 a month, but from a patriotic spirit of excitement, the 83 Frenchmen (average age, 25) faced the needling, bone-dry winds and the oven-hot, reddish-yellow sand of the vast desert. Working peacefully shoulder to shoulder with them were 134 Algerian Berbers...
...Artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) have such a long trunk and short legs, walk so badly? To Paris Pediatrician Gaston Levy, the Moulin Rouge explanation (bone fractures at the ages of 13 and 14) is silly.

At one moment he would have his audience roaring with him, as in Matilda ("Everyone sing the chorus...
...long arms chopped the smokeless air of Manhattan's Madison Square Garden and the bone rigid forefinger jabbed at the TV screen. "Right in your living room," came the muscular Southern voice, "right in your bedrooms, right in a bar-you can let Christ come in." Wearing TV blue but no makeup, Carolina-tanned Billy Graham was bringing down the third-act curtain on the first live U.S. telecast of his New York Crusade. But as Billy continued his "invitation" ("just get up quickly and come right on down"), he was drowned out in a cue mixup...
