...supported the relatively moderate program of the S.D.S. regulars to extend their efforts to high schools as well as to organize community-action projects in poor neighborhoods. Their Marxist challengers, the highly disciplined Progressive Labor Party radicals, were generally neatly barbered and shod, some even wearing suits and ties. Known as the "shorthair caucus," they want S.D.S. to form a militant union of students and workers, and toil for an old-fashioned "class struggle" revolution-a misreading of U.S. reality if there ever was one. The only agreement between the two major factions was that S.D.S. must now look beyond...
Nevadans have always clung to mildly iconoclastic notions about what is and what isn't a vice. Gambling is legal in Nevada; everybody knows that.

In one of her columns, she told how "Miss PP" (for Prim and Proper) berated "Mr. VV" (Visually Virile) for what she called "his on-screen presence" while shooting a picture. "But I'm the leading lady, dear," the actress was reported to have remarked to her costar. To many in Hollywood, the initials...
They were not given much of a chance. In the despair and disorder of the surrender, mutinous soldiers and sailors swelled the ranks of bellicose far-left parties, above all one whose members were known as Spartacists. Spurred on by the example of the one-year-old Bolshevik success in Russia and supplied by Lenin with propaganda and trained agents, the Spartacists sought and expected total revolution. To achieve it, they tried to destroy all moderate reformers, early and late displaying a fatal blindness to the German right, which in the form of the Nazi party finally destroyed left...
