...noodles, chopped-meat buns and fried crullers. About 1,500 people are expected to pack the moderately-sized, home-decorated restaurant on the corner of Prospect Street and Broadway (about a 15 minute walk from Gund Hall on Broadway, or a five-minutes stroll from the Central Square subway exit up Prospect Street). Personality, I find most Chinese pastries sickly sweet and pasty, but the dumplings are excellent (a $1.95 value) and the noodles (in a watery rename source) are also good. No strings attached, 12 noon...
Welles becomes a sewer rat; every exit is covered and his seemingly endless ability to scramble in and out of huge blocks of misshapen rubble is exhausted.

But the Russians were appalled by the strident congressional debate on the issue and the publication of letters between Kissinger and Senator Jackson spelling out Soviet assurances to let out more would-be emigres "promptly...
Although similar acts of repression have taken place in the past, their recent intensification has greatly reduced the number of new requests for exit visas. But if the Kremlin should relent, there are at least 130,000 pending applications that have not been granted...
