...area, the Sabra does not accept defeat. During the war Naomi sat in the cool semi-darkness of one of Ayeleth's concrete shelters, and sang "We Shall Overcome" to the faint crump of Syrian shells. The shelter's occupants were not as sure of their impending triumph as foreign experts. They knew only that if Syrian troops swarmed down from the brown hills across the Jordan, they would have to fight to the last woman and child. The Syrians would leave no one alive. "I was not afraid," says Naomi without hesitation, "Only worried--about my brother...
...sales coordinator, Herman Keld, argue that McLuhan is essentially right. Keld, for example, predicted that Joey Bishop, a "hot" nightclub comic who comes on strong, was bound to start out at a disadvantage in audience ratings when he went on the late-night air for ABC against "cool" Johnny Carson.

Samuel Wagstaff, a curator at the Atheneum, decided to put four of Smith's pieces outside because...
Posing as the lackey of a nonexistent count, Sellers persuades the senorita to wait with him evening after evening for the aristocrat to arrive. Out of bore dom, Eklund endures him, then tolerates him, and at last-her cool melted by champagne-falls in love. The morning after Sellers wins his wager, he confesses all in an orgy of guilt. Raging, the seducee marches him at shotgun point to a bathtub full of cerulean stain. Bobo is last seen in a bullfight poster proclaiming his indisputably unique credentials as "The Singing Blue Matador...
