Late at night, in his chartered Boeing 727, Bobby, 42, looks neither young nor beautiful. Deep lines mark the brow. Stumping in the sun has turned his nose pink; lack of sleep has dulled and reddened his eyes. The grey wires in his tawny hair grow more visible. How goes the race for the nomination? From behind his cigar: "It's silly to talk about that. It's like trying to gauge the outcome after the first five seconds of a minute-long contest...
Saxsewell Mine No. 8, which burrows deep into a gentle West Virginia hillside, is only three feet high, and miners must crouch as they ride to work in tiny carts.

Compared with the U.S., few youths in France get to universities at all, and those who do find themselves immersed in a selerotic setup that educators insist was out of date in Napoleon's time...
...deep in debt (he owes $280,000 to his lawyers) and nearing the final round of his losing two-year bout with the U.S. Selective Service System; yet Muhammad Ali, 25, once known as Cassius Marcellus Clay, still has that golden gift of gab. His latest bit of doggerel, recited on college campuses while speaking for the cause of the Black Muslims, recounts the long journey in store for Joe Frazier, current pretender to the heavyweight crown, if ever they should fight...
