...their own boys scheduled to be hung in the Belfast Jail. Fortunately for the audience, the soldier is hidden in the midst of a Dublin brothel, which is supposedly so hot the officials would never even suspect it of revolutionary activity. Full of whores, queers, and their fellow eccentrics, the place is a kind of Cambridge city councillor's nightmare of what happens if you don't regulate rooming houses...
Last week there could be heard in Washington, if not yet a crash, then at least an ominous clattering sound. Ironically, much of the noise came from Nixon's fellow Republicans. Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Robert Finch, who had taken a drubbing a week earlier in the Knowles affair, found himself forced to compromise his strong stand on school desegregation guidelines. That Nixon decision angered liberals of both parties and blacks, as did the Administration's introduction of a transparently weak voting-rights, proposal. An affirmative House vote on the income tax surcharge extension bill constituted...
...Traditions are forgotten, and the only important tie with the past is the Supai language Yuman, now adulterated with American idiom.

They feel inferior both to the white man and to fellow Indians from larger, more advanced tribes...

While operating the Cleveland Indians (1946-49), the St. Louis Browns (1951-53) and the White Sox (1959-61), he annoyed fellow owners by introducing jugglers and tightrope walkers into the pre-game festivities and staging cow-milking contests for players.

He broke the color barrier in the American League by hiring Outfielder Larry...
...wrote these lines has not so much been talent or intellect as extraordinary compassion. A near Marxist as well as a poet during the years of the Spanish Civil War, Stephen Spender has worn reasonably well since he served as Auden's slightly junior fellow in the vanguard of English verse. Now an uncomplacent 60, he knows that nothing turns off a young radical quicker than old radicals who say "When I was a boy ..." Yet ironically, compassionately, he sees the New Left making many of the old youthful mistakes. And what is a father figure...
