Nobody knows for sure, but Eddie ("The Brat") Stanky, 50, may once have smiled when his mother chucked him under the chin. One thing is certain: the splenetic manager of the Chicago White Sox was in no smiling mood last week. His go-go Sox, who finished fourth in the American League last year and rated as strong contenders this season, were wallowing around in the league cellar after losing their first ten games in a row-an achievement that earned them a line in baseball's record book, ahead of the 1962 New York Mets (nine straight losses...
...three, all of whom were removed from their posts, were important men indeed: General Yang Chengwu, who as acting chief of the general staff had been second only to Lin Piao in the military hierarchy; General Yu Li-chin, the political commissar of China's air force; and General Fu Chung-pi, commander of the army's vital Peking garrison.

...elderly man walking along the seafront, enjoying the autumn sun, looked more like a campaigning politician than a heart patient.

Though a sign in one McCarthy headquarters proclaimed that "Strange Politics Makes Bedfellows," housing was strictly segregated by sexes (boys in a gymnasium, girls in McCarthy supporters' homes). In keeping with McCarthy's own austerity, the kids largely eschewed beer drinking, though one group of New Yorkers nearly came to grief in a Rochester bar: a local tough...
...provide an interesting insight into the city's mentality. Some bars have changed the name of the drink guzzled by the bar girls from "Saigon tea" to "Saigon-Hanoi tea." Many of the girls, mindful of Viet Cong retribution for consorting with Americans, now alter the traditional toast, chin-chin-to your health-to chin-chin, Ho Chi Minh. They also bring a change of clothing to work so that they can slip out of their conspicuous B-girl tight pants and into the traditional flowing Ao-Dais for the evening trip home to the suburbs...
