...Though he had rallied with astonishing vitality from earlier illness, including two previous strokes, Churchill at 90 was feeble and weary; his illness, said Moran, was "very serious indeed." In a chilling wind and rain, sorrowing Britons gathered quietly in the cul-de-sac outside Churchill's red brick house at 28 Hyde Park Gate...
Noonday at "Pali." One anthropologically absorbing place to watch these characteristics in interplay is the wall-less, roofed area for cafeteria tables at Pacific Palisades High School, bordering on Sunset Boulevard.

Huddled Pueblo. During most of its existence, from 6500 to 5700 B. C.- dates determined by carbon 14 dating -the city must have looked like an Indian pueblo of the U.S. Southwest, its mud-brick buildings huddled together in a single mass. They had the same doorless outside walls, and were entered by ladders through their flat roofs. There were no streets, and only a few small courtyards. Çatal Hiiyuk may have been well-designed for defense, but its comfort was questionable and its sanitation offensive...
