...sort of Arab unity. He failed every time. In 1958, he forged a union with Syria and Iraq that endured for three contention-ridden years and is commemorated only by Egypt's continuing official designation as the United Arab Republic. At the same time he conceived of a looser association between Egypt and Yemen, but the plan got nowhere. Nasser's most realistic attempt, dreamed up a year ago, involved Egypt and its revolutionary neighbors, Libya and Sudan. In Cairo last week, rulers of the three countries met to see how much farther they could carry the idea...

...most tangible difference has been the installation of the new pro-style offense. By its very nature, it will force Harvard and Yovicsin to be more inventive and looser in their play repertoire. Yovicsin plans to pass more than any team in Harvard history, which of course isn't all that earthshaking.

From its first song his new album relaxes, and leaves the walls of sound around which he wrote The Natch'l Blues for a looser and quieter feel.

...very hot, and everybody was getting his little "taste" to cool off. Flasks, bottles, and beer cans were everywhere. Even young teenagers were sipping from foaming bottles held in one hand as they danced, head back, eyes closed. The dancing got looser and wilder and better. It went on like this for blocks and blocks, and the second line got bigger all the time.
