...black whore! You write about us and make lots of money, and then leave without sharing it." A drunken woman hurled a rock that gashed one of Carolina's two sons. Rocks struck Daughter Vera Eunice. As curses and the hail of stones grew, Carolina pounded on the hood, leaped aboard, and the driver roared through the mob. The favela-dwellers gave chase, brandishing clubs and rotten vegetables until the truck neared a police station. Then they fell away, and headed home...
Atrocities were not all on one side. The camisards terrorized the Catholic countryside. They rushed into battle singing psalms ("When those devils began singing their dreadful songs, we couldn't control our soldiers," complained an officer of the King). Roland kept their morale high by his Robin Hood exploits and hairbreadth escapes. In the end he was caught and executed, and finally the camisards were reduced to a remnant. But their struggle had crystallized public opinion against religious intolerance, and for 45 years (from 1715 to 1760) Calvinist Antoine Court labored to restore French Protestantism -organizing local and national...
...combat sagging auto sales, Stude-baker-Packard has given a new look to its 1961 line.

He discovers half a dozen new restaurant and motel sites a year, claims that the success of his rapidly spreading motels is due to the fact that he builds them on sites that seem a natural place for restaurants...
Beneath the low-slung hood snorts a cocky engine that is even smaller than the put-putter of the family Volkswagen (1,100 cc. v. 1,192 cc.). But everything else about the racing machine is big league, from the rakish cut of its body to its four-speed gearbox and cat-footed suspensions. Last week a buzzing swarm of the precocious big-little cars performed before an audience of 5,000 at Lime Rock, Conn, in a battle of agility and speed that was finally won by Harry Carter in a Lotus with an average speed of 78.18 m.p.h...
