...even dare submit them to the Bundestag for approval. Should that happen, Brandt's hopeful initiatives for peaceful relations with his Communist neighbors would only have made matters worse. The Soviets have made it clear that Bonn's failure to accept the Brandt treaties would chill the political climate of Central Europe...
Misplaced Mirth. The Desdemona of the present production would cast a chill on any Othello. Jill Clayburgh is beyond her depth both artistically and temperamentally. She may well have seen the inside of a Seven Sisters college, but never for a single instant does she convince one that she has walked in the court of Venice, or even rumpled her hair, let alone been heart-ravished.

...referee charging that Molineaux had lead weights concealed in his fists. The referee, who by the rules should have given the fight to Molineaux, played along with the stalling tactic of Cribb's handlers, waiting for Cribb to revive. In the interim, Molineaux, unaccustomed to the climate, developed a chill. Cribb won in the 40th round...
