...name of Dwight D. Eisenhower was responsible for that bit of treachery? "My grandfather," answered David. Then he hastened to explain that he really has not made up his mind; he is considering a career as a lawyer, and that was why Ike advised the Navy. An Army man, after all, ought to make the service his life...
...Britain's most uninhibited critic, the old man has taken savage swipes at the royal family, the Anglican Church, even Winston Churchill-and now the subject is sex. On the eve of Edinburgh's International Festival of the Arts, which was to offer plays featuring a homosexual embrace, two topless actresses and a sketch about the genitals of primitive man. Malcolm Muggeridge was moved to take the pulpit at St. Giles' Cathedral and inveigh against such "illiterate filth."

"I need twelve men who can agree unanimously that the defendants are guilty," says Mosley. But if the defense gets one man who refuses to cast a guilty vote...

Born in 1962, when the National League expanded to ten clubs, the Mets promptly lost their first nine games. They finally won one on their tenth try, but defeat was more their style. Baseball, according to a hoary cliche, is a game of inches. The Mets lost by feet, even yards, and they did so with agonizing regularity. In their first seven seasons they threw away the awesome total of 737 games...
