...Admiral's Son. Just before Christmas last year, Assistant Professor Kent Ponder, 34, a Spanish teacher, handed out a flock of Fs, including one to Midshipman Donald Minter, the son of a retired admiral who once headed Annapolis. Superintendent Rear Admiral Draper L. Kauffman, 54, a much-decorated World War II frogman, called in Ponder and several other teachers to discuss Minter's scholastic difficulties-"not in an official capacity, but as a friend of the boy's dad." A few days later Captain Robert S. Hayes, head of the language department, ordered Ponder to conform...
...guys and dollies, girls in miniskirts (three to six inches above the knee) or bell-bottom trousers. The morning has been spent "raking" among the Edwardian bric-a-brac, dusty candelabra and other antiques in the stalls on Portobello Road. Now, as if by a common instinct, the whole flock homes in on King's Road, site of such bird boutiques as Bazaar, and Granny Takes a Trip, as well as Hung On You, the "kinkiest" (wildest) men's shop, which features "The '30s Look": George Raft lapels, Bogart fedoras, Al Capone boutonnieres.

The Senate approved the proposal the very next...

In the meantime that stock was to be voted by the papers' management, which regarded Newhouse as a foreign raider and would not even let him look at the company's books. Newhouse fought back by filing a flock of lawsuits; he charged that the papers' profits were being haphazardly poured into the already swollen employee pension funds. In turn, the newspapers ran stories belittling their boss...
...Rawalpindi clanked five Chinese-built T-59 tanks, dipping their long, angular gun barrels as they passed President Mohammed Ayub Khan's reviewing stand. Then the walls of the capital reverberated to the roar of a Pakistani Air Force flyby, led by four silvery MIG-19s. A flock of American-supplied aircraft trailed cautiously at the rear, mostly B57 bombers, F-86 Sabres and F-104 Starfighters. Ayub's armory had a new look, and he was flaunting it before his SEATO and CENTO allies...
