...created a striking duality in the lives of Tokyo's plain people. They wear Western clothes to work, slip into cool kimonos or yukata at home. They drink coffee or eat popsicles at midmorning, have curried rice, raw fish or veal cutlet for lunch, go home to green tea, rice, seaweed, lily bulb, lotus root and bean curd. They go to see Marilyn Monroe at the cinema one night, follow this up (finances permitting) with long excursions to lengthy and painstakingly stylized classic Japanese Kabuki or No dramas...
...badges to cock critical eyes from official launches. The contestants themselves train for months. This year Ken Collins, 21, a tireless lighterman from Bermondsey, sprinted into an early lead as they slid past Southwark Bridge and Saint Paul's.

Last week he was chipping away at a huge chunk of dazzling white plaster against the deep green grass and bright blue sky. It was the working model for the 30-ton marble reclining figure of a woman that will be placed in front of the UNESCO building in Paris. It will be completed next year...
...year-old paragon of adolescence in a Georgia orphanage, "Big Fella" Mineo stoutly defends the "little fellas" from harm, sturdily resists the temptations and blandishments of a bevy of Bad Examples. In hammering out his selfless philosophy of life, Sal learns through bitter experience to reject the cynical green applesauce of an opportunistic main-chancer (Thomas Carlin), and to sneer at the diesel-crass plutocracy of a trucking tycoon (Gene Lyons), who is the orphanage's most successful alumnus...
