...sobriquet of "The Brute" from Naval Academy classmates. Marines found the nickname appropriate. Merciless with incompetents, Krulak attracted feral loyalty as well as hatred. Early in his career he showed that there was nothing undersized about his brain. A specialist in the "dirty tricks" of unconventional warfare, he used hell-raising tactics on Choiseul Island during World War II to such advantage that the Japanese believed Krulak's Marine paratrooper battalion was a full division. At 43, he became the corps' youngest brigadier general...
...Mystery Ship, Hell!" The bidding would have brought a cheer from the Lafayette Escadrille. Top price was for a Sopwith Camel, believed to be the last original, which went to Manhattan Stockbroker J. W. Middendorf II for $40,000 (it cost $8,000 new in 1918). Second highest price was $20,500 for an immaculate 1927 Curtiss Gulf hawk 1 A. The buyer: Korean War Pilot Dolph Overton, 40, who already has 40 vintage aircraft in his Santee, S.C., aircraft museum. Overton plans to fly the Gulfhawk, just as Race-Car Builder-Driver (Chaparral) Jim Hall expects to take...

When she made the winning bid of $4,300 for her old plane, which had been in Mantz's collection, the crowd stood and applauded. Pancho Barnes...

Davie Napier, enthusiastically endorses this year's seniors, who, he says, "embrace an authentic, courageous morality that sees obscenity where it really is?in all schemes that thwart the realization of full humanity anywhere, from the campus to Saigon, or to hell and back...
...Church by the year 400. St. Augustine articulated the gloomy theology of baptism that was to remain current in the Church for nearly 1,000 years: that the ritual was necessary to cleanse an individual of the stain of original sin, and that the unbaptized were doomed to hell. Somewhat more merciful in his thinking, Thomas Aquinas later suggested that the unbaptized would go not to hell but to limbo, though original sin would still deny them heaven. During the 16th century, the radical reformers known as Anabaptists returned on Biblical grounds to the primitive Christian practice of baptizing only...
