...birthday truce itself proved a bloody affair, honored by the Communists in the gun breech from almost its first moments. Saigon, to be sure, blossomed with festooned streets and parades of floats escorted by buzzing swarms of teen-agers on motorbikes. But on the battlefields, bullets and mortars pounded in 73 enemy violations of the truce period recorded by Saigon. Some 30 of them were judged "significant," including a long firefight in southern Quang Ngai province in which 45 North Vietnamese and eight American soldiers died early on the birthday of Buddha, who enjoined reverence for life...
...some 150 New York City birders, the search centered on Long Island's Jamaica Bay, where the stealthier spotters bellied through the wet marsh grass as if sneaking up on a machine-gun nest. Though they found a number of rare birds, they were disappointed at total counts, which were as small as 100 species. And in Illinois, 50 members of the Champaign County Audubon Society slogged through mud and rain, uphill and down, for views of herons and chimney swifts, wood ducks and Blackburnian warblers-and a day's total...
...telephone number -- Mary Anne Moorman -- took the photograph moments after the fatal bullet struck President Kennedy.

...With one jolt from his cigarette lighter-ray gun, James Coburn became the roguish superspy in Our Man Flint. Zap! Zap! And the near-impossible switch from heavy to heartthrob was complete. It was Coburn's first leading role, but Flint made him a star, which means, among other things, that everybody wants him. They can get him too - for only $500,000, plus a slice of the profits...
...curtains and doors, she stalks the family skeletons with the patience of a gumshoe and then rattles the bones triumphantly in the face of the relative who stands to writhe most at the memory. Auntie-hysterical, nymphomaniacal-finally kills herself. Great-aunt Penelope guards her virginity with a loaded gun. Uncle Willie drops in on the family at 4 a.m. to touch Grandpa for a fiver and then dashes off. Not a bit too soon, either, since he is wanted on indecent-exposure charges and is eventually caught for kidnaping a pretty little boy disguised as a pretty little girl...
