...Your Brooklyn story [March 11] nauseated me. Brooklyn isn't Sheepshead Bay, Fort Hamilton, Flatbush, Bensonhurst, Canarsie and Coney Island. They're foreign. Brooklyn is Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Fort Greene, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Red Hook-places like that, where you can't get foot-long hot dogs or Marianne Moore, but where you can hear Latin-American music blasting all night, where Al Capone is a martyr, where you can buy licorice for a penny, where you can get the best malted milks in the world. "Only 1% of the kids are still dese, dem and dose types," says...
Senators considered themselves remote from popular passions and found no embarrassment in having Aaron Burr preside over them after his murderous duel with Alexander Hamilton. They felt responsible only to themselves and their own sense of grandeur-and that sense, taken seriously, may force a certain largeness of spirit on the pettiest of men.

"You know," said Rodney, "baseball is a bore...
They've danced in Acapulco, exchanged smiles at the Sugar Bowl, held hands at the New Orleans Mardi Gras and churned up a lot of heartwarming rumors. The dates with Lynda Bird Johnson, 21, have also churned up oceans of free publicity for Actor George Hamilton, 26. Were the girl's parents put out about that? Beams Lady Bird: "Lynda is going through a sparkling time and I couldn't be happier...
...tend to get squeezed out, the Studebaker Corp. in 1963 tried a brave departure. Bathed in $80 million of red ink after eight years of declining sales and expensive overhead at its antiquated South Bend plants, it moved assembly lines across the border to a more efficient subsidiary in Hamilton, Ontario. In its U.S. operation, the company needed to sell 115,000 cars a year to break even, was falling short of the mark. In Canada, with lower production costs, the make-money sales point was 20,000 cars a year, which ought to have been attainable. But it wasn...
