...general protest strike. Roaming the city in small commando units, some on motor scooters with girl friends behind, they forced shopkeepers out of stores, stopped buses and trolleys, ordering passengers to descend, poured into post offices, telling employees to quit or be beaten up. Police looked on. The riot fever reached its peak following the burial of Singer Carmen Ramos. Some 1,500 teen-agers started back to town after the ceremony, shouting "Algeria is French!"-"Death to the Assassins!" Joined by other Europeans-gangs of poor Italians and Spaniards from the working-class district of Bab el Oued...
...current outbreak apparently started in northern China in January; in February it swept through Shanghai; by March it was in Canton. Early in April, influenza jumped to Hong Kong, almost certainly carried by refugees from Red China. The disease was marked by three or four days of severe headache, fever (up to 104°), aching muscles, general malaise.

...Here there is no longer talk of Nature, only eccentric fanaticism, delirium-drunk moods and fever-sick hallucinations." So said the conservative Norwegian Aftenposten, outraged at the show of some 50 oils by young Edvard Munch (pronounced Moohnk) in the summer of 1892 in Christiania (now Oslo). The storm of criticism was all that Munch, then 28 and just back from Paris, needed to become a scandalous success in the gloomy provincial city. Berlin painters promptly invited him to show in the German capital, and the scandal was even greater, splitting the Union of Berlin Artists permanently into two camps...
...fever had Los Angeles in a sweat. To the joy of some and the rage of many, the city council last week voted to allow drilling in some residential areas. With Mayor Norris Poulson's approval yet to come, the council backed dezoning of the city-owned Rancho golf course and the private Hillcrest Country Club near Beverly Hills. Thundered the Los Angeles Examiner, decrying the eagerness of adjacent citizens to lease their lawns and barbecue pits: "Is spoliation of these homes to be forced upon the owners for peanuts per lot in return...
