...herd, and stun it with an airgun slug. Then, slaughtering and quartering the animal in less than half an hour, Roden would stow his kill in the trunk and back seat of the Mercedes and race back to Düsseldorf. There in the morning, he offered his customers fresh cuts of beef, complete with faked, blue government-inspection stamps...
...Fresh from a trip to Cairo and Karachi, Ne Win was able to fill Nehru in on some of the latest developments within the widening circle of the disenchanted: the U.A.R.'s Nasser was furious over Communist China's support of the Syrian Communist Party and its vocal admiration for Iraq's Premier Kassem; Pakistan was fuming over a set of Chinese maps showing some 6,000 square miles of Pakistani territory as part of China.

In 1956, planning coverage of the national party conventions, NBC decided to send in some fresh faces, dispatched Huntley from New York and Brinkley from Washington, expecting them to spell each other. They made it a team operation, brought off the assignment so handsomely that NBC decided to make them a habit. (Said Brinkley wryly of this sudden prominence: "I did what I'd been doing for years, but people paid attention.") In October 1956, Huntley and Brinkley-who had not even met before their paths...
