...Louis' book is so inflammatory that it could hardly have been published unless he had obtained approval for it at a very high level. The work's timing is surely not coincidental. The Chinese invasion of Viet Nam last February plunged Sino-Soviet relations to a new low, and the U.S. normalization of ties with China revived Moscow's anxiety about a possible Peking-Washington rapprochement, one of the events predicted in Amalrik's Will the Soviet Union Survive...
...Thorpe, are you guilty or not guilty?" The clerk's loud, unemotional voice carried across the small, airless courtroom to the oak and glass-paneled dock. The tallest of the four defendants, a somber figure in a dark gray suit, stood uncertainly. When it came, the response was low and fatigued: "Not guilty."

The Rangers receive no win-one-for-the-Gipper pep talks from Shero; he prefers to chalk low-key aphorisms on the locker room blackboard. Sample: UNITY AND HARD WORK IS OUR MOTTO. Shero even leaves the disciplining of the team to the players themselves. Shortly after taking over the badly divided Rangers last June, he approved the appointment of six captains; the six set team policy, levy fines and take turns leading...
Wylie said that state law requires cities to accept the lowest bid in purchases of more than $5000. "If the low bidder is J.P. Stevens we have to take them anyway," he said, adding that in purchases under $5000 the city council advocates a boycott if the bidder is J.P. Stevens...
