...marry American Anthropologist Wyn Sargent last year. Sargent described her jungle adventures in the book My Life With the Headhunters, but this month Obakharok gave his own version of the tale in an interview with Paris-Match. Though his bride eschewed Max Factor for a coating of pig fat and soot, reports Obakharok, it seems the chief came down with a case of marital blahs on his wedding night. Even the prayers of his villagers ("Make our beloved chief, so valiant by habit, draw his bow for his new wife"), failed to work. Worse yet, concludes Obakharok, the island police...
...Some of Thieu's would-be successors and a large portion of those now calling for his resignation are as anti-communist and anti-democratic as Thieu himself. But this man has for too many years perpetuated a war against the will of the general population in deference to fat-cat South Vietnamese businessmen and military officers. He has collaborated with the United States in bombing his own country in an attempt to annihilate his political opponents. His removal is a necessary first step on the road to liberation for Vietnam. Undoubtedly the U.S. government and its South Vietnam ambassador...
Diet has also been implicated as a factor in breast cancer, which appears to be more common in countries where people consume large quantities of animal fats.

I didn't let anybody know about Rita, but ripples of rumor turned into waves of discontent: "I wish Rita with/her fat self shut her/garbage mouth and/turn into a fat white rat." Now I attempted to curb this bickering with a wish poem containing a color and a T.V. show. Most of these kids spend a lot of time watching television; some of them are allowed to stay up late because their...
...blind faith that there will always be buyers. This year there are not, and 1974 could almost be called the year the building stopped. In January 1973, housing starts ran at an annual rate of almost 2.5 million, a high point in a succession of three unusually fat years for the industry. Since then, starts have plummeted to an annual rate of about 1.1 million, the lowest level in almost five years. The current collapse already is more than twice as bad as the industry's last bust-in 1969, when home building dropped off 25% in 12 months...
