...owners [June 21]. I have seen firearms used for good (yes, even against fellow man), as well as for evil; but I have not as yet laid blame (or credit) to the gun. It is interesting to ponder if the emotion of the moment will bring on a joust with windmills, and whether the result will provide a catharsis for the guilt complex of a nation in turmoil...
Nixon learned other lessons from his joust with John Kennedy, and he is cannily applying them to his primary battles against Michigan's George Romney. The former Vice President's campaign to date in New Hampshire and Wisconsin has been relaxed and understated, designed to encourage the image of Nixon as statesman. Ironically, Nixon believes that in the popular memory he has somehow acquired a Kennedyesque patina simply because they opposed each other in 1960.

...tender moment it no doubt was, but it still looked an awful lot like a corporate merger. Flanked by His-and-Hers lawyers, Playboy Huntington Hartford, 56, and Third Wife Diane, 25, announced that they have reconciled after a four-month international joust that included a well-publicized dalliance between Diane and Singer Bobby Darin.

The King ignores their affair until the appearance of his bastard son Mordred (David Hemmings), who sunders the kingdom with slander and rumor. A war between Arthur and Lancelot begins, Guenevere flees to a nunnery, and Camelot dissolves into legend...
...fiercely competitive music market, contests have become a way of life. Virtually cut off from conductors, many of whom are too busy to wade through the welter of new works, struggling young composers have discovered that one quick way to command attention is to win a musical joust. One of the most impressive of such champions is England's Wilfred Josephs; by winning the $5,000 top prize in the first La Scala competition with his Requiem, he gained international recognition and the sweet satisfaction of having conductors court him for a change...
