...Colonial meat-packing company proved over the weekend to be the only group of people who can play both sides of the Yankee-Red Sox blood feud. Effervescent kids on New York's channel 11, largely black and Hispanic, touted Yankee Franks as "the taste that takes you out to the ballgame," while a similar, but whiter, group of urchins acted out the same theme between innings for Fenway Franks...

Since the second accord, Cairo and Damascus have been engaged in a bitter rhetorical feud. Egypt has taunted Syria for having sought a private agreement with Israel by begging for a cease-fire only 24 hours after the fighting commenced in 1973. Cairo newspapers have charged that Syrian "prisons and concentration camps are crammed with people whose only crime was a word of objection against...
