...search of a congressional candidate. "I figured," Carey once said, "that I needed a guinea with a name that long." Addonizio, a much-decorated war hero, met Carey's callous specifications. Carey delivered the nomination, and Addonizio edged out the incumbent Congressman by fewer than 1,800 votes. En route to an eighth congressional term, Addonizio amazed friends and opponents when he gave up his safe seat in the House to make the race for mayor of Newark. He won, mocking an opponent's charge that the "invisible hand" of the Mafia was behind his candidacy...
...experienced four coups, all bloodless. Last week Dahomey suffered its fifth coup in six years, but this time the takeover was not bloodless. When President Emile Zinsou, 51, an able, French-trained medical doctor, arrived at his seaside palace in his black Citröen limousine, soldiers opened fire with automatic weapons, wounding him and killing his two bodyguards.

We came to this Southern city with its stupid architecture, this pathetic town of ulcers and unreality to say en masse that we feel like orphans, we feel at odds with ourselves and particularly with this war that has grown out of us (do not make it into a mistake), and that we wish to disown a part of ourselves. The sight of the Capitol does not make our heart...
...think we're ready. The Dartmouth Daily is coming en masse Saturday for a game that should determine the Ivy Championship. Pine Manor has some superlative football players, but the Big Green has a real powerhouse of a team. If we do get by Dartmouth, though, I think the only team left with a shot at beating us is Endicott...
