...Geraldine Kirshenbaum, who is often amused when sports people get nervous about having a feminine reporter around. Some hockey public relations men tried to keep her away from the players "because their language is so terrible and these men would be embarrassed to have a girl hear it." She heard enough to confirm the point: the players' language is terrible. Key man on our Sport team is Charles Parmiter, who has been writing the section since 1961 and whose application of talent to subject matches the intensity of Bobby Hull devoting himself to hockey...
...most hopeful aspect about the rash of public strikes is that they have injected new and sorely needed urgency into the search for solutions. Investigation proceeds in a wide range. Some suggestions have been heard that existing strike penalties are not severe enough to deter strikes and should be increased. Advocates of this position refer to the example of John L.

Hull and Novogrod point out that in 1946, "the French recognized Ho Chi Minh's 'Republic of Viet Nam' (covering Viet Nam north of the 16th parallel) as a free state...
...sense of style, Swarowsky suppresses their personalities, dismisses their interpretive urges as mere dilettantism. He leads them through rigorous analyses of scores. "You learn," recalls Mehta, "what the composer is doing and why, and how he entered the composition-through the back door, as it were. We never heard in Swarowsky's class what another conductor did. That is brainwashing...
