Having failed so ignobly to pull off a general strike in May of 1958, Spam's tiny but tightly organized Communist Party was determined that this year would be different. In the biggest flood of anti-Franco propaganda ever, they printed up hundreds of thousands of leaflets to prepare the workers to do their part when Radio Espana Independiente in Communist Prague gave the signal. To some of these leaflets they signed the names of liberal and Roman Catholic organizations that had not even been consulted. "A truly national movement!" cried the Communist radio. But when...
When the wind is still, a strange and pungent odor rises over the pleasant resort city of Durban on the Indian Ocean. It comes usually from the tin-shanty slum of Cato Manor to the west, where, ever since the Union government forbade blacks to drink anything alcoholic other than the watery government beer served in municipal bars, Zulu women have been brewing a crude moonshine of their own. A high-power popskull made of methylated spirits, carbide, potato peels or just about anything else that will ferment, this local version of skokiaan (called gavine) is often the only source...

Planting a soulful kiss on Vivanco's lips, Yma broke it off to trill (in a range that extends from shrill soprano to throaty baritone): "We cannot live apart. There's nothing like love...
...Ever since statistics began to point to some connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer, the world's tobacco industries have been devising ways to cut down the effects of tars and nicotine. Last week the Swedish tobacco monopoly settled on a fractions-of-an-inch policy: the last puffs do more harm than the first. Testing 19 local and 18 foreign brands, the Swedish Institute for People's Health found that king-sized cigarettes give the smoker more tars and nicotine if smoked to the same stub as a regular, much less than a regular if smoked...
