...must know that Herbert Marshall's translation (especially his "dud rhymes -'trees-industries,' 'linger-lingo,' 'see-literacy' ") is a successful attempt to re-create the Russian poet's technique. While this type of rhyme is not even considered rhyme in our English tradition, Russians make use of it. And, especially with Yevtushenko and other modern poets, it is such a special feature that it cannot be ignored in the translation of their poems. Rhymes such as "micropore-Metro-pole" and "Perlovke-perlone" are duds directly from Yevgeny himself...
...very effective when other people are around," Yachtsman Francis Chichester once said about his penchant for solo performances. "Any attempt to diverge from this lot makes me half a person." Whether he was roaming the English countryside as a boy, piloting a seaplane from Australia to Japan as a young man, or crossing the Atlantic in a small sloop in middle age. Chichester always faced danger alone. Though he has never escaped fear ("A spot of panic is good for you, keeps you alive"), Chichester has loved the rewards of mastering...

The rare bird in the Los Angeles aviary is Barbara Winters, 28, who, to produce the needed penetrating sounds from her oboe, must pit her trim 120 lbs. against male fellow oboists who average a burly-chested 200 Ibs. To maintain the exceptional breath control...
...studio Indians, who under their Redman-Tan look suspiciously as if they belonged to one of the Lost Tribes of Israel. They're a sad lot. They handle their fire arrows so clumsily that their own chief goes up in flames. They speak in such grotesquely broken English that on various occasions Director Gordon helpfully supplies subtitles in pictograph...
