...noted the series of photos showing Humphrey with assorted personages from 1960 to 1967. The 1960 picture caught my eye: Humphrey was very noticeably white-haired; now his hair is virtually black. Is this a New Dawn for the Vice President? Only his hairdresser knows for sure. Come to think of it, there may be a Lady Clairol lurking behind the scenes even for non-greying, 58-year-old Ronald Reagan...
...second-story apartment on Chicago's North Side, an obese Appalachian woman grunted heavily as she heaved herself off the army blanket covering her bed. She flicked off the stained TV and said: "I've got trouble. My 14-year-old, he just got stabbed in the eye with a knife. The doctor's afraid he's goinq to lose it."

A Columbus reporter, Robert Mac Vicar, who was Maced in the face during Ohio State University demonstrations last fall, is suing...
...there is no development of character. Dialogue only occasionally breaks through the long silences, and when it does, it is something less than crackling ("Will you go with me, Sigrie?" "I will go with you, Hagbard"). Violent emotions are registered only by the slightly flared nostril and the widened eye; mothers receive without a single word the news that several of their sons have been killed, and the heroine watches her lover fighting for his life with all the apparent pity and terror of a spectator at a close chess match. Yet in its own archetypal terms, The Red Mantle...
