...going Australia, and certainly not to its Prime Minister. What astonished many was that the ruler of so large a nation should go about so casually and unguarded. Holt had neither wanted nor received any secret-service protection-an individualistic privilege that no other Prime Minister is likely to enjoy. Not until long hours after Holt's disappearance did the numbing awareness of truth finally set in. The full impact arrived only when television cameras mounted on windy cliff tops in Portsea brought the disaster into every living room and into the heart of s every Australian family...
...this year. You blame rising food prices on Government subsidies-how about the fact that the U.S. housewife today wants her food completely prepared for her before she buys it, does not this add considerably to the cost of food in the supermarket? Furthermore, as a nation, we still enjoy the lowest food costs (in terms of annual income of consumers) of any industrial nation.

...strategy called reductio ad absurdum. In seven seasons with the San Francisco Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers, Chamberlain averaged 39.6 points a game, and even got as high as 100 points in one game-yet his teams never won a championship. Last year, he was persuaded to shoot less and enjoy it more as a playmaker and rebound hawk. The 76ers, after a 68-13 season record, went on to beat the Warriors for the N.B.A. title...
