...Geneva treaty on Rules of the High Seas, specifically states that piracy involves the action of one ship against another, and therefore could not apply to the Santa Maria. Though Portugal is a NATO member and a centuries-old ally of Britain, Washington and London shrank from the worldwide clamor that would ensue if these particular rebels were handed over to Dictator Salazar...
Along the jungle battlefront in Laos, not much was happening. Soldiers lounged barefoot within stockades built of sharpened bamboo stakes-thought to be protection enough in a country where the elephant charge has fallen out of fashion and the tank has not yet been introduced. But the cold-war clamor was as loud as ever. The U.S. last week gave the royal Laotian army four T-6 trainers, a lumbering plane that is nonetheless the hottest thing Laotian pilots can handle. They flew them north into the Communist-held countryside, wildly firing .30-cal. machine guns and 5-in. rockets...
Before the game, the raucous clamor of the hockey arena echoes through the cold concrete passages leading to the locker room. As they dress, the Chicago Black Hawks ignore the din and concentrate on their ritual of making relaxing small talk.

By 1966 the Emperor will have a second $2,500,000 palace for official functions. The Diet will increase his personal budget from $140,000 to $168,000 this year. In reciprocal generosity, the Emperor plans to turn a third...
...Among those accepting: Jack Kennedy.) Amid the clamor of hammers as workmen put up the viewing stands for the Kennedy inaugural parade near the Treasury, other workmen quietly dismantled the lights and ornaments from the 70-ft. fir tree on the White House lawn-President Eisenhower's last Christmas tree as Chief Executive. And in the stores of F Street and Connecticut Avenue, salesmen reported with satisfaction that sales of top hats (at $40 and up), in conformity with Jack Kennedy's plans, had outstripped the black Homburg, an inaugural innovation that came with Dwight Eisenhower and, apparently...
