Chinese Torture. Grey, a rugged but wiry six-footer, has become tense and pale under this peculiar form of Chinese torture. At the second of two 20 minute visits that British diplomats have been allowed to pay him in 17 months, he complained of chest pains, reported that a Communist doctor conceded that he may have bronchitis-but would not do much about it. Guards deliver the People's Daily even though Grey cannot read Chinese. He grows weary of the Peking Review, an English-language Maoist propaganda magazine. He has a library in his upstairs quarters...
Dover initiated the explosion with a pair of foul shots, and then converted a fast break pass from Gustafson. Janszewski, a pleasant surprise for the fans with a soft jumper and accurate hook shots, followed with a turn-around 15-footer. Gustafson finished it off with a free throw, and the outcome was assured...
Missouri's Lieutenant Governor Thomas F. Eagleton, 39, has been running so hard that he has lost 16 pounds since January, and his trousers sag around his hips.

A jowly six-footer with a shock of wavy hair greying at the temples and an impressive Roman nose, Mclntire oozes the polished grace of a successful businessman. On the stump, he is the consummate piney woods evangelist, his voice resonant with Southern overtones even though he was born in Ypsilanti, Mich...
...John Hancock building in Chicago, likes to use computers to figure out the precise calculations, such as how much aluminum can be pared from window frames (the answer saved Shell $200,000 in Houston). The driving force in the San Francisco office is Charles Bassett, 46, a touseled six-footer who came to S.O.M. from the office of the late Eero Saarinen. He ranges widely in styles, designed the Alcoa building, the Mauna Kea Hotel in Hawaii, and the bare-boned Oakland-Alameda County stadium, which he boasts is a beauty "with no rouge on her cheeks...
