Scores of soldiers and police, as well as an all-black honor guard, were on hand to greet Henry Kissinger as he arrived in the South African capital of Pretoria late last week on the third stop of his latest effort at shuttle diplomacy. All week long sporadic rioting had continued in the nonwhite townships around Johannesburg and Cape Town, and a department store in downtown Johannesburg was fire-bombed-the first such act of urban terrorism in the country's history. Shortly before Kissinger's blue and white 707 touched down, police fired at demonstrators in Johannesburg...
...honor guard of workers, peasants and students stood at attention along our route from the Peking Hotel to the Great Hall. The broad T'ien An Men Square, where Mao had once reviewed well-drilled throngs, was empty of traffic except for a line of diplomatic cars. Dominating the scene were two giant black-and-gold-draped portraits of the Chairman. Chinese mourners, forming a silent wave of gray and blue, slowly climbed the broad steps leading into the Great Hall, moving from the bright afternoon sunlight beneath the twelve massive concrete columns and the army guard...
...South's many paradoxes that violence is not far from the surface. Montgomery, Ala., Lubbock, Texas, and Savannah, Ga., have the three highest murder rates in the nation, in part because of the gun-toting tradition and a sense that honor dictates that real or imagined wrongs must be redressed.

More than once he has offered a resolution to rename Plympton St. "Lampoon Avenue" in honor of the "really important" publication that abuts that road. And when Al took out a political ad in last year's election supplement, by chance he discovered a "plot" to hijack all of that morning's Crimsons. After alerting the business staff of the nefarious scheme, Al introduced...
...this year. The network has scheduled 190 hours of nonseries specials programming, plus 45 hours of a weekly spectacular it calls The Big Event. TBE is an amalgam of movies, novels-into-books and such nonhappenings as a 4½-hour special-during its worst rated year ever-in honor of NBC's own 50th anniversary. Highlights: the first network TV showing of Gone With the Wind in two parts (commercials were sold for $235,000 per minute) and a salute to cinema called LIFE Goes to the Movies. Despite its grandiose title and all-star goodies...
