...their guns and bringing cars to a halt. A few moments later a convoy of army vehicles wormed through the snarled traffic and wheeled into the fashionable Hannam-Dong residential district. Suddenly, from a nearby compound housing military and government officials, came the loud staccato of automatic gunfire. After dark, tanks and armored cars were seen taking up positions in the capital, and around 3 a.m. came the finale: the reverberating sounds of another gun battle near the Defense Ministry itself...

...week approved the outlines of a windfall-profits tax on the oil industry, Jimmy Carter was considering a steep new federal tax on retail gasoline. His economists argue passionately for it, but his political advisers worry about a backlash at the polls in November. Illinois Congressman John Anderson, a dark horse Republican presidential candidate, submitted a bill calling for a tax of 50? per gal., with the revenues to be used to chop Social Security taxes approximately in half.

...mere college students who are holding 50 Americans hostage at the U.S. embassy in Tehran? The suspicion that they are instead seasoned militants is reinforced nightly when newscasts show armed men outside the embassy who look more like combat soldiers, an impression both accurate and misleading.

The group still puts My Generation across with enough swagger and insinuation to get you giddy or make you feel like you are being stalked down a dark street. When Townshend, 35, called himself "the aging daddy of punk rock," he was not being entirely facetious. Who music can match the tough street impact of punk, especially as Daltrey dishes it out.

...ricaine. Albertine pleads for skate with black butter; King delivers it. Marcel wrote affectionately of éclairs, marrons glacés, strawberry juice, orangeade, chocolate cake, oysters, petite marmite, roast goose ("superbly limbed and shining with gravy"), hare a l'Allemande and venison that was "dark, brown-fleshed, hot and soused [with red wine and cognac], over which the red-currant jelly has laid a cool, sweet surface."
