...hollow needle was inserted in a vein of his wasted arm, Boris murmured to his wife: "Dosvidanya [goodbye]." Moments later, blood gushed from his mouth. "Why am I hemorrhaging?" he asked. Trying to sound reassuring, Zinaida answered, "It is because you have pneumonia." The end came fast. With the last flickers of consciousness, Boris Pasternak managed to wave to Zinaida. She leaned over him, counted 25 gasping breaths, and then came the stillness of death...
Eichmann, now 54, bore no resemblance to the jaunty SS officer of the past. He had gone almost completely bald, hollow-cheeked, with big, flopping ears and a long, drooping nose. Yet early last month Israeli secret agents identified their quarry. From then on, they stalked him day and night. A five-man commando squad headed by one Yehudah Shimoni was sent from Israel to Buenos Aires. At the same time. El Al (Israeli Airlines) New York Station Manager Joseph Klein, who himself bears a tattooed number from one of Eichmann's concentration camps on his arm, flew down...
...Hollow Stones. "I have learned to respect mechanical equipment," Kahn says. "You can't keep the gimmicks out, so you have to plan for them so they won't ruin your building later."

Son of a lawyer in Athens, Ohio, Finsterwald went to Ohio University, developed an all-round game to compensate for his slight, hollow-chested build (5 ft. 10 in., 160 Ibs.). Finsterwald's steady brand of play avoids the single bad round that can ruin aggressive players like Venturi and Palmer (who is Finsterwald's best friend on the circuit). "If Finsterwald ever gets that little extra spark needed to win," says Byron...
Illinois' Liberal Democrat Paul Douglas, in his distress over the supposed inadequacies of the bill, turned for solace to T. S. Eliot's The Hollow Men: "This is the way the world ends-Not with a bang but a whimper." And Pennsylvania's Democratic Joe Clark outdid all the melodrama by telling how he had surrendered his "sword" to the South's chief strategist, Richard Russell of Georgia. "Surely," cried Joe Clark, "the roles of Grant and Lee at Appomattox have been reversed." And then Clark wound up with a touching recital of four stanzas from...
