...village. Three buildings on Hong Kong's Victoria Peak, where many of the colony's most expensive residential areas are situated, were also destroyed. One twelve-story building, with all its lights burning, seemed to tilt slowly before it plunged down the hillside like an ocean liner sinking at sea. Government officials worried about a potential threat to other buildings that have been densely packed together on the hillside. Hong Kong's clay soil becomes unstable when saturated with water, and so many buildings constructed so close to each other could result, in times of record rain...
Woody scarcely had time to enjoy his oddly luxurious surroundings. He worked, in fact, with a demonic, almost humorless passion-writing parodies and vignettes for The New Yorker, confecting new nightclub and television routines, searching vainly for the ultimate one-liner. Sporadically, he took time out to spice up campaign speeches for New York City Mayor John Lindsay. He also coauthored, directed and starred in a hilarious, self-inflicted wound of a film called Take the Money and Run.

Meanwhile, at an R.A.F. base in Wiltshire, England, a four-man bomb-disposal team climbed aboard a long-range Hercules transport and strapped on parachutes. When the plane made its rendezvous with the liner 1,400 miles west of England in the Atlantic, the men plummeted through the clouds and rain to land close beside a waiting launch...
Thomas had one of his finest games for the Crimson, driving in three runs and contributing the fielding gem of the afternoon by stabbing a liner between third and shortstop. McGugan provided the leading plate performance, going three for three and scoring each time he reached base. His single in the fourth also drove in Tim Bilodeau with what proved to be the winning...
