When one turns the old pages, the start of World War II is clearly marked. Every contingent of draftees was lined up in front of the Trailways bus that would take them to camp. Their pictures were snapped, their names and the names of their parents faithfully recorded. In the fading volumes those placid, strong young faces form a continuing gallery...
...Another segment supposedly showed rebels stalking government guards and blowing up a mine. The Post says Etabari claims the footage was faked by Hoover at a camp in Pakistan. The Post adds that CBS in 1987 aired a tape of an exploding red toy and described it as a bomb planted by Soviet soldiers.

...mesmerized as if they had been tourists on the Boardwalk gawking at horses diving into pools and typewriters bigger than elephants. On the day in 1976 when the state referendum passed, they danced in the streets.

Horn had a point: since 1961, East Germany has demanded cash from West Germany before granting legal...
...season begins, continue a medium dose of exercise for the first half of the year and tail off to conserve strength as the season wanes. The Japanese approach firmly states that more is better. In mid-January, three months before opening day, teams hold a "voluntary" winter training camp. Everyone attends. By February they are practicing seven hours a day and participating in evening strategy sessions. During the season teams report at 2 p.m. for a four-hour drill before a night game...
