...addition, Moscow made a gesture last week that was an apparent response to the Reagan Administration's call for concrete action to show good faith in the area of human rights. Fifteen Pentecostals from Siberia were allowed to emigrate to Israel. Some of them had taken refuge in the U.S. embassy five years ago, hoping that U.S. diplomats would help get them out of the Soviet Union...
...Crimson mile record is the one honor which has eluded Dixon. Fifteen years ago Jim Baker covered the distance in 4:00.2, and no one has topped it since. Because of the metric system, Dixon hasn't had many chances, but few doubt he has the capability to run a sub-four-minute mile. Dixon is likely to have his final chance when he last dons a Crimson uniform for the Cambridge/Oxford meet in England 10 days from now.

...small dawn-to-dusk radio station in Roxbury or some such place.

There are a wall of shoes and long racks of blazers, slacks and other 19th-hole formal wear. "I wear them...
...embarrassing about the way Marshall fulfilled the Cleveland woman's fantasy. He led her to the Fantasy booth, a somewhat enlarged telephone booth hat blows air from its base and thus floats hundreds of dollars within he participant's reach. While the audience cheered, the Cleveland woman spent her fifteen seconds grabbing as much money as she would. Although she snared $900-not a small sum-one remembers her almost pathetic efforts, bending over when her time ended so as not to lose an extra bill or two that had landed on her back. Marshall escorted...
