...pressagent for National Distillers' Old Crow whisky, Stuart Little, 54, had an aspiration essential in his calling. He wanted to get his product's name past the sharp, hostile eyes of newspaper editors and into print for some free publicity.

A mustache shades his upper lip, and a goatee bobs from the point of his chin in disarming capriciousness. It is much like Lenin's goatee-a comparison Walter Ulbricht has long encouraged, for most of his life he has dreamed of becoming Germany's Lenin, the triumphant father and leader...
...three-year-old law, which compels segregation of blacks, browns and whites. Under the law, 70,000 blacks and 22,000 Indians, many of them prosperous shopkeepers, will be ejected from their homes and stores in downtown Johannesburg and moved, without a penny's compensation, to Jim Crow shantytowns far away from the white suburbs...
