Finally, suppose there's no touching, no tableau, no quid pro quo -- just a crude exploratory gambit along the lines of "Hiya, babe, you wanna . . . ?" Here too some moral Rubicon has been crossed. Intimacy in a public setting is not just "inappropriate," in the prissy, yuppie sense. It can be deeply insulting, which is why a misapplied tu in French or du in German can be a fighting word. When we leave our homes to go to work, we assume an impersonal role like "teacher," "secretary" or "judge." We may even don a special costume (black robes, skirted suit...
Tuesday morning, Jerry and the Scripture-Screamers toured the slum area of Tondo. "Hiya, fella," Falwell said, greeting a naked native in his spartan cardboard hut. He presented the man with a bullet-proof Bible and the Scripture-Screamers' recent album, "Welfare Queen." "If you pray hard, maybe you'll get a record player," he said...

Four brigadiers and several dozen field-grade officers in Lahore resigned rather than follow orders to fire on unruly mobs...
...tall silver-haired man striding down the Washington corridor could have been the sleek candidate for the U.S. presidency that he once seemed destined to become. "Hiya, John B.," said a passer-by with a warm slap on the shoulder. Despite such joviality, John B. Connally, 58, was heading toward U.S. District Judge George L. Hart's courtroom to face trial. The charges: accepting a $10,000 gratuity for influencing President Nixon to increase federal milk-price supports in 1971. Three times Governor of Texas, and Secretary of the Treasury under Nixon, Connally looked tense last week at what...
