...Bullock-Befriending Bard. Bull bums differ considerably from ski bums, tennis bums or beach bums. For one thing, they are only spectators. For another, they are invariably well heeled and can afford the proper clothes, hotels and restaurants as well as the sports cars to make all-night dashes of up to 700 miles from one corrida to the next. The most conspicuous bull bum in Spain last week was U.S. Bachelor Kenneth H. Vanderford, 51, who has seen 94 fights this season and whips from city to city in a red Karmann Ghia...
...ease the peasant's burden," said Sir Alexander, "but we must beware of suddenly knocking it off his back or he will stumble and fall into unemployment."

With all her campus activities, plus keeping house for her brothers, Pat still had energy left over to fill extra roles in motion pictures (she had a $25-a-day walk-on part in Becky Sharp) and to work as a part-time saleslady at Bullock's-Wilshire, a fashionable department store.

The crowd found one-way traffic patterns, with 200 mounted police and 3,000 other lathi-wielding cops to enforce them. On every road there were medical teams to inoculate them against cholera (though many needle-shy peasants managed to slip past). The festival area itself was sectioned off like the Chicago stockyards with bamboo fencing to keep crowds from clotting. Posted in special watchtowers, police...
...High Presence. On foot, by car and by camelback, on bicycles and in bullock carts, millions crowded into the cities along his route to see Eisenhower, and their reply to his message came in a torrential outpour. "We love you, Ike," cried the Turks, tough fighters on the cold-war frontier. "Take back our love, Ike," cried Pakistani throngs. In India, the reception burst the chains of imagination, crowds surged and seethed around Ike, and in front of village huts appeared brass vessels, festooned with mango leaves in recognition of a high presence...
