...pilots have a jargon of their own. They "zap" the Viet Cong on a good day, call Saigon "the ville," express fervent approval of everything from a girl to a chopper with the word"outstandin'." Top-ranking visitors often hitch rides on their flights to get in a few personal licks at the Viet Cong. Brigadier General Joseph Stilwell Jr., son of "Vinegar Joe," frequently rides shotgun in Slavich's own chopper. Once, with Stilwell aboard, Slavich had to make an emergency landing in a Red-infested area. "I was scared to death," said Slavich...
...Oliver Rea and Peter Zeisler, along with Tyrone Guthrie, were drawn to Minneapolis as a city immune to Broadway's manic-depressive boom-or-bust psychology. Guthrie, a restlessly inventive director, had already been the chief architect of Stratford, Ontario's successful festival. The trio found a fervent ally and a doggedly gifted fund raiser in Minneapolis Editor John Cowles Jr. Prophesied Guthrie, who carries his 6-ft. 5-in. frame like a queen's grenadier guard in mufti: "Minn will come through." Minn did. The T. B. Walker Foundation donated the land and a grant...
However, even though there turned out to be gold (and iron) in Mauritania's sands, it has become increasingly plain that Morocco's pragmatic young King Hassan II does not share his father's fervent faith in a "Greater Morocco" and realizes, in any case, that its big neighbor is here to stay.

"My feeling," he said, "is about what it would be if somebody's temperature dropped back from 104° to 103°.'' U.S. labor leaders are in fervent agreement with Wirtz, and their current pattern of contract negotiating is calculated to create jobs by spreading out the available work...
...wistful jokes about schlemiels, the struggle against discrimination in country clubs-and childhood memories of the stately dining ritual on Passover. This, complains Theologian Arthur A. Cohen, is not Judaism but Jewishness-"the whole array of atavisms and sentimentalities which a secure minority can now afford." Cohen, in a fervent new book marred occasionally by some advanced term-paper prose, summons the comfortable, conforming natural Jew of the American present to recapture his supernatural vocation as a living reminder to all men that history is incomplete until God's Kingdom has been established...
