...World the Younger Generation Is Talking About." It's a little hard to tell what in the world Lynda is talking about, since at least 40 of the 55 terms in the glossary are almost old enough to be in the Oxford English Dictionary: "Cool it," "bug out," "put on," "stay loose." Lynda did uncover one fairly recondite turn of phrase. To "turn your E.B. up to Mother" means to "turn your electric blanket up to the highest temperature; hence, return to the womb and security (chiefly West Coast...
...started in 1964, Chief Designer Frantisek Sajdl made extensive studies of Western compacts. His four-door 1000 MB has a 48-h.p., four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that sits astern of the rear axle.

...forgive-and-forget policy that the Yugoslav President suddenly seems to be favoring. Last month Tito also pardoned another former Vice President, Aleksandar Ranković, who, as the country's security chief, had not only plotted an anti-Tito conspiracy, but actually went so far as to bug Tito's home and office...
