King's death immediately realigned forces on both sides. Ohio's William McCulloch, ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, abruptly broke with Ford to come out in support of the bill, followed by Illinois' John Anderson and more than a dozen other Republicans. Knowing that enough G.O.P. votes had probably swung over in favor of open housing, Johnson canceled his announced civil rights address to Congress. Principal reason for the decision: he did not wish to risk antagonizing the Republican converts by seeming to claim partisan proprietorship of the bill...
...helmets and carried heavy clubs, went on rampages in virtually every major German city. Almost everywhere they went, they blockaded and sometimes stoned the local printing plants of conservative Publisher Axel Springer, whose newspapers, notably the mass-circulation Bild-Zeitung, have denounced their restive leftist tendencies. The students also broke store windows, erected barricades across streets and fought bitter pitched battles with police. The violence was worst of all in West Berlin, where a mob of 3,000 young revolutionaries broke almost every lower-floor window in Springer's shiny skyscraper near The Wall and set fire to some...

One of them hoisted a ladder with a hose attached over the flames and water poured down on them like a waterfall. Firemen moved to the three-story tenement next door; it was in danger of going up next. They carried out three children...
With one out and Detroit batting, two vacationing tykes broke over the right field barricade and raced across the outfield to Yaz in left. The three shook hands all around and chatted for a moment, before the Fenway cops menaced. A few minutes later, two left field youths vaulted their barricade to meet the understanding idol. Then there was another pair from right, greeting Joe LaHoud (welcoming the rookie to Fenway no doubt), shaking with Reggie Smith (who gave them a friendly pat with his glove) and then approaching the altar in front of the Green Monster...
