...quiet country town is almost palpably evil, a microcosm of the easy enmity and casual brutality that David and Amy hoped to leave behind them. It is a place isolated, almost abstracted, from the rest of the world. The villagers regard David with a cordial disdain. Amy is seen as one of their own who has deserted them and returned with slightly lofty airs. Some of the men of the village, while helping fix up a rented farmhouse for the couple, make casual sport of ogling Amy and discussing her attractions...
...Richard Nixon, it was not a particularly comforting week. Two powerful groups long on generally friendly terms with him turned on his policies-in one case with deliberate rudeness, in the other with homiletic eloquence.

It was the first such high-level correspondence since the 1962 Sino-Indian conflict, when the two nations broke off commercial ties and reduced their diplomatic relations to the charge-d'affaires level. Last week there were reports...
Eventually, Phillips was rewarded with a choice assignment: duty in Harlem, where the payoffs are the biggest in the city. He soon was on cordial terms with gamblers known as Joe Cuba, Ted Cigar, the Gimp, the Gout and Spanish Raymond. He recalled his first meeting with a gambler called Eggy. "He walked over to the car and he says, 'Are you the new men?' We said, 'Yes, we are.' He says, 'You get $20 a day. Is that all right? We take care of the men who were here before you, we take care...
