...journalists' platform threw ourselves to the ground. At first the orchestra conductor did not stop the music but got onto a chair and conducted all the more vigorously. Then the sound system went off. I remember seeing a bass-fiddle player lying on the floor, still putting bow to strings. There was a priest standing up, holding a Cross in one hand and an Argentine flag in the other. Then I saw a young man handed up over the heads of the mob, being dragged up by his hair onto the platform. I think he was beaten to death...
...days 50 minutes in space, Skylab Astronauts Pete Conrad, Joe Kerwin and Paul Weitz came home last week. They made a perfect splashdown in the Pacific some 830 miles southwest of San Diego. As the Apollo command ship bobbed gently in the rolling seas 6½ miles off the bow of the recovery ship Ticonderoga, Conrad radioed a message: "Everybody here is in super shape."

The Pamplona (on Bow St. next to the Underdog) reverberates with the undertones of the heavies, of intellectual riffraff at its most sincere and heart of heart having it outs. Everybody eavesdrops, it is licensed voyeurism. The Window Shop (56 Brattle St.) is an outdoor cafe that provides a front row bleacher seat as to who's who at the Casablanca...
