...Central African Republic, beset by everything from Chinese subversion to ministerial embezzlement to a staggering civil service payroll of 50,000 (for a population of 1.4 million), President David Dacko was overthrown by Colonel Jean-Bedel Bokassa, his cousin, who announced that he had acted "to head off two other coups, one against me and one against President Dacko...
...kids get most of their notions about rock 'n' roll from the radio. One rock radio station offers coloring books as a tie-in promotion for sponsors. Cousin Brucie ("I really believe everyone's my cousin") Morrow, 31, top rock jockey for Manhattan's WABC, has formed a "Cousin Brucie's Pillow Talk Club" for the station's 20,000 sub-teen listeners who go beddie-bye with their transistor radios.

...year-old David Sarnoff, chairman of the massive Radio Corporation of America, Brigadier General of the Army in World War II and adviser to five Presidents, resents those years of everlasting drudgery and clammy poverty, and the denial of a normal family life. Eugene Lyons, Sarnoff's first cousin and a senior editor of the Reader's Digest, suggests that this deprived childhood sparked the insatiable drive for success which marked Sarnoffs public career.
