Overcoat & Broth. In the little Alsatian village of Günsbach, where he grew up, Albert Schweitzer's schoolmates looked on him as "a sprig of the gentry" because he was the parson's son. To be set apart from the other boys was an agony to him; he suffered many a whipping rather than wear an overcoat, the badge of a "gentleman." Once, after he had won a wrestling match, his opponent said: "Yes, if I got broth to eat twice a week as you do, I should be as strong as you are." From then...
Danger Is Relative. The morning of a game, when the squad gathers around the training table at 10:30 for their pre-game lunch, Chappuis manages to swallow a cupful of beef broth, but he only nibbles at the filet mignon put before him.

The mischief is done by sneezers...

From a window of the presidential palace that overlooked the Villarroel lamppost, he delivered his inaugural speech. Said he, "Whenever you people get tired of me, let me know so that I can go away." Apparently he meant what he said. Last week the junta decreed national elections next January for a permanent President and congress...
