...some unspeakable urge, it will be obvious to the last row, third balcony, that the lady is pregnant. But what is this dark drive that possesses her? With somnambulistic stare she crosses to the kitchen counter. She reaches for a knife-and then for the bread and peanut butter. She raises the sandwich to her mouth, hesitates.

He was surrounded by a whirl of waving yellow prayer flags, burning incense and flower petals. Thousands of Buddhist pilgrims prostrated themselves before him. and when they could not reach his gown, they touched the hoofs of his pony. Dignified and smiling, his crew cut and glasses making him look (as one American put it) like...

Many a fire station, church basement or community center across the U.S. last week presented a scene more suggestive of the Depression than of the most prosperous year in U.S. history. Lines of citizens edged slowly up to makeshift counters, walked out with armloads of milk, butter, flour, or more than a dozen other food stuffs-all for free.
