Colonel Briggs-who was known to the troops as "Old Poker Face" during the war-is the choice of Republican Governor John Chafee and the G.O.P. state central committee, and is thus the strong favorite to win the Republican primary next month. Confident of this, the colonel last week officially opened the campaign with all sights trained on Claiborne Pell and November...
...clearly possesses the revolutionary purity and zeal that Mao values so highly. The son of a small factory owner in central China, the new No. 2 man attended Canton's famed Whampoa Military Academy, whose director was Chiang Kaishek.

...Heir Huntington Hartford simply won't take no for an answer. For six years now he's been trying to give New York City $500,000 for an outdoor café in Central Park.

If things seemed to be a bit chaotic as a result, what did it matter? "Dare to make revolution and be good at revolution," cried Peking...
Edinburgh may have more class and Salzburg more tradition, but no festival has a longer season or a larger attendance, or offers a wider variety of music than the public concerts this summer in New York City's Central Park. The programs run from Memorial Day to mid-September, have so far drawn 400,000 people-including a record 80,000 at a single New York Philharmonic performance-who have heard jazz, band music, folk-rock, opera, orchestral music, and even a Dutch street organ huffing Strauss waltzes. None of this activity absolutely guarantees that the park will...
