...Thailand the TIME group was received by King Bhumibol Adulyadej at his Bangkok palace, surrounded by green lawns and hedges neatly fashioned into the shapes of elephants, alligators and birds. In the Gomain Room (so named for a red precious stone, said to be clearer than a ruby), the King spoke of the closeness of Thai-U.S. relations.

But a substantial urban congregation may expect its minister to drive something a bit larger and less austere, such as a blue Mercury Comet or a Pontiac Tempest...
...over to a neighbor's house or do it while Ray is walking the dog." Her husband, an assistant city editor on Milwaukee's other paper, the Journal, is even more secretive. The McBrides recently lost a relative of some prominence-he was mayor of Green Bay-but Toni did not know it until she read the Journal. Ray kept the news from her until his paper had the obituary in print...
