...IRONY in some of the stories is cold, devastating. The boy's house is bombed, yet the door and front wall remain, so that he can walk through the front door into a field. And an informer cruelly "executes" the boy and his friend with blanks in the gun. The friend is so mortified that he dies the next day, insisting that he has been shot...
...this ball club, no pulled ripcords. While Zimmer insists that he is doing nothing differently this year, everyone knows it's just ego.

He swept to the lead to finish 15 yards ahead of Scott, whose time of 3:51.11 was only .01 of a second slower than Jim Ryun's 1967 American record. The next eight runners all came in under...
Donna Summer: Bad Girls (Casablanca). While everyone's gone disco, Summer, the best disco singer in the field, is rocking harder. About one side's worth of songs on this double set will be no trial for even the toughest disco adversary, because Donna has swell pipes and because she is trying to give the music more range and bite. Watch out, Diana Ross...
