...just pulling his leg," says H.H.H., but Grechko took him at his word. So off he went to the Defense Ministry's game preserve, and when the fusillade ended, Humphrey was wondering what to do with his 154-lb. tusker. "If anyone wants some boar meat, I've got some," he offered cheerfully. The choice carcass was delivered to the U.S. embassy...
...Potomac reaches the nation's capital as a pleasant stream, and leaves it stinking from the 240 million gallons of wastes that are flushed into it daily. Among other horrors, while Omaha's meat packers fill the Missouri River with animal grease balls as big as oranges, St. Louis takes its drinking water from the muddy lower Missouri because the Mississippi is far filthier.

Even so, the consensus was that surprisingly good progress had been made. Targeted by its drafters to go into operation Jan. 1, 1971, Nordek would unify the Scandinavian economies if the road to Brussels should still be blocked. Or, if membership negotiations were under way, it could serve...
...friend, neighbor and fellow journalist. A 58-line poem in the American carried Wiggins' byline and the following dedication: "To E. B. ('Andy') White of North Brooklin, on His Seventieth Birthday, July 11, 1969." The couplets fondly recall such White pieces as One Man's Meat and Second Tree from the Corner, then conclude with these lines...
