...first half featured less than collegiate style basketball as poor shooting keynoted the action through Harvard's 11-9 lead after ten minutes. Although the Crimson upped the margin to five points, Yale deuced its way back to a slim 25-24 score. The lead seesawed to and fro until Carey nailed a jumper at the buzzer to send the cagers into the dressing room ahead...
Though Trudeau pops up at certain public events, his passion fro privacy still makes J.D. Salinger look gregarious. He loathes interviews, rarely makes speeches, nor wil he sit still for photographs. Once he hid in his bathroom for four hours to avoid a Baltimore Sun reporter.

Pro-European zealots hinted ominously that a no vote would benefit the Communists. Anti-Europeans countered by charging that the American CIA, which helped to finance some European-unity groups back in the 1950s...
...psychology of the moment demanded a kill. "Here was I," recalled the ex-official, "the white man with his gun, standing in front of the unarmed native crowd-seemingly the leading actor of the piece; but in reality I was only an absurd puppet pushed to and fro by the will of those yellow faces behind." After the ritual sacrifice, the writer confesses, "I was very glad that the coolie had been killed; it put me legally in the right and it gave me a sufficient pretext for shooting the elephant. I often wondered whether any of the others grasped...
