...loose and hustled up to the corner to join two other children waiting for their bus. "Hey, maybe we missed it," he was telling them before long, beginning to strut and lecture like a little headmaster himself. "We missed that bus, I'm telling you. It's gone," he kept repeating. And after 20 years, blacks and whites in the cities are still fussing over buses, it struck...
...nerve center of Carter's campaign is a small, windowless chamber on the 24th floor of downtown Atlanta's Colony Square office building. The door, unmarked except for a taped-up piece of white paper bearing the handwritten designation 22-A, is always kept locked. Only six persons have the key. Known as "the situation room," it resembles a combat-ready headquarters. The beige walls are decorated with charts, graphs and maps that reflect Carter's strategy. The barnstorming schedules for the candidate, his wife Rosalynn and their three sons and wives, plus Mondale and his wife, are traced...

Afternoon Heat. While probing differences between wild-and factory-bred flies, Zoologist Guy L. Bush and Biochemist G. Barrie Kitto of the University of Texas, with Zoologist Raymond W. Neck of the Texas parks and wildlife department, found that the larvae were kept at an unnaturally constant, warm temperature, mainly to speed up growth. Also, young flies were unable to fly around much in their cages. Eventually, the researchers write in Science, a markedly different strain emerged. No longer as vigorous, the male does not become active until the heat of afternoon, whereas his wild brethren are busy impregnating females...
Anneliese Michel seemed to build her life around an old-fashioned kind of Roman Catholic devotion. In her dormitory room at West Germany's University of Würzburg, the pretty, pious young education student covered her walls with pictures of saints, kept a holy-water font near the door, regularly prayed the Rosary. Timid and intense, she seemed somehow afraid of life; even in her thesis, which she finished this spring, she focused on the phenomenon of fear. Then, one month later, Anneliese died at home in Klingenberg at the age of 23, wasted to skin and bones...
