...toad said to a rat, 'I can do something that you can't do.' 'What?' cried the rat. 'You don't even know how to run. You just throw yourself, lop -- and then you stop and look around."' Yes, and then? Listen for fun, but learn too: leelee goro means "little girl" in the Temne language, and jambo is Swahili for "hello." And a "sloogey dog" is a Saluki in "hungry country," which is the desert -- words, as the storyteller says, "from the far side of the imagination...
...that some photographers who pioneered its development -- Peter Stackpole, Dmitri Kessel, George Tames, Alfred Eisenhstaedt, Howard Sochurek and I -- are still taking pictures for publication. The speed and sweep of photojournalism's technical achievements can be appreciated by considering the life of one of its greatest pioneers, Fritz Goro. He began his career in the 1930s using flash powder to light his subjects, and just before he died in 1986, he was using a laser beam for light...
When Japanese Salesman Goro Hasegawa, 44, invented his simple board game in 1971, his father, a Shakespearean scholar, duly noted that the appeal of the game was based on a series of "dramatic reversals."

To a degree almost incomprehensible to Westerners, Japanese last week were still caught up in shock, shame and rage over the massacre at Israel's Lod Airport by three young Japanese radicals...
Grisly Mess. The grim series of discoveries in Yuba City began one morning two weeks ago, when Goro Kagehiro, a Japanese-American grower who has orchards just north of town, glanced down between two rows of peach trees and noticed a freshly dug hole about the size of a grave. When he returned that evening, the hole had been completely covered up. Uneasy, he came back next day with the deputies, who soon found the first dead man. What followed turned into a grisly mess that outranks the more gruesome mass murders of the recent American past: the 1966 killing...
