...health seems ever more precarious. The Politburo averages 66 years of age, the Central Committee more than 60. Says Columbia University Professor A. Doak Barnett, a leading China expert: "This means that one can say, with actuarial certainty, that before very long virtually the entire top-leadership group will disappear during a relatively brief period, with results that will be felt at every level of the country." The leadership's ideas are also aging. Practically all of the top men are first-stage revolutionaries who made the Long March, the retreat from Chiang Kai-shek's armies...
...cannot see how the stigma of color will be erased unless color does in fact disappear: and that means not integration, it means assimilation, it means-let the brutal word come out -miscegenation...
...last remnants of individual liberty are beginning to disappear in South Africa. The banning last week of Ian Robertson, the president of the National Union of South African Students, is only the latest outrage in a long campaign by the South African government to stifle all liberal opposition. But the implications of the Robertson banning reach far beyond the South African scene. Robertson was responsible for inviting Senator Robert F.

...Jacobs' undoing was the tenth: he chipped short, two-putted for a bogey. That gave Nicklaus a stroke-which he increased to two by rolling in a 25-ft. birdie putt on the eleventh green. Finally, only the tree-lined 18th was left.

Then he hit his only really bad shot of the day, a hooked No. 7-iron that wound up in a patch of dirt below the green. Pulling...
...Cuba. "There were those who disagreed with the President," says Peck. But they obviously don't matter very much. On the New Frontier, once unreliable U.S. rockets sail obediently into orbit. In the movie's oversimple view of Washington under Kennedy, intramural shoptalk and crackling press conferences disappear, for the city is "transformed into a cultural capital." In fact, this is neither Kennedy's Washington nor Washington's Kennedy. It is a legend for export, smoothly put together, fiercely partisan and as heedless of history as a love letter written in sand...
