WHEN THE doors opened and the men got out, the spell was broken--for an instant. After the silence there was a brief squeal of joy from wives and children seeing the man they were looking for, but then there was abrupt silence again. The men wore blue denim jackets with "USS Pueblo" written in faded letters on the back. They had blue denim caps and all were pale. They walked quietly, most without smiling, down the ramp and into the crowd. A few hugged wives and children, but it wasn't a wild kissing-the-soil scene from...
...Your story on Bach [Dec, 27] was the best Christmas cover story for a long, long time. Every word brought illumination and joy; you had the symmetry, the inevitable Tightness in every part. You have an art of your own. I left a reading of every word with a sense of completeness; the Bach violin partitas began sounding through my mind as I got up.

Back Pay. If there was concern in Washington, there was joy in San Diego. The crewmen were installed in a four-story pink stucco building normally used by students at the Navy's Hospital Corps school; their families checked into the El Cortez Hotel atop a hill in the city's center, their bills to be paid with a $40,000 fund raised by the San Diego Chamber of Commerce.

For Danny's house was not unlike the Round Table, and Danny's friends were not unlike the knights." In 1952's East of Eden, the Biblical parallels of Cain and Abel are so relentlessly stenciled upon the plot that symbolized meaning threatens...
...Their joy was short-lived. Brazil's military wasted no time in acting. General Siseno Sarmento, commander of the crack First Army based in Rio de Janeiro, conferred for 50 minutes with Costa e Silva and other military leaders at Laranjeiras, the President's Rio residence. Having failed to remove Alves by legal parliamentary procedures, they decided to do away with the procedures themselves. Costa e Silva, a former marshal, resisted briefly, then caved in-as he almost invariably has since succeeding another retired officer, Humberto Castello Branco, 22 months...
