President Bok said yesterday be gained "a closer, more vivid appreciation of problems of underdeveloped countries," as a result of his two-and one-half week tour through Africa which ended on Friday...
...pumps out This Nearly Was Mine while the class practices rapid combination exercises that end in a burst of squeaking slippers. Nureyev finishes last. Working very slowly, he clears an envelope of space round him in which each ringer, each joint, every muscle locates its place.

And Congress is closer to being right than the president or the secretary of state on the foreign-policy that gave rise to Kissinger's denunciation...
