...Wang Tsai-yu, a simple peasant woman who was widowed early and did embroidery to send her promising son to academies in Paoting and Tokyo, Japan. When she died in 1921, the fast-rising young Chiang matched her devotion by building her an elaborate tomb in the eastern China mountain village of Chikow, where the family lived. Last week, calling her memorial a "source of poison in Chinese society," an official Peking report joyfully revealed that members of the Red Guards had attacked the tomb and razed it to rubble. That particular act of barbarism, as Peking saw it, "marks...
Booty Money. Despite occasional psychological strains from isolation in the bush, the Green Berets still handle some of the toughest chores of the war. Special Forces "C and C" teams venture on missions "over the mountain"-reconnaissance forays into Laos and Cambodia that are classified and not talked about.

When the Bolivian army summarily executed Che Guevara last October in a remote mountain town, soldiers found in his possession a diary chronicling the eleven-month guerrilla campaign that Che had expected to set the torch to Latin American revolution.

So he asserts his virility by barreling around mountain roads in his wide-track, fastback, four-on-the-floor Belchfire with the racer's edge. And Junior, well, the sudden joy of discovering that he's got 27% fewer cavities has apparently unhinged him. Now he stands in front of the mirror all day and counts his pimples...
Trudeau embraces the Greek notion of developing both the mind and the body to perfection. In the tradition of the Canadian voyageur, his idea of relaxation is to climb a mountain, go skiing or snowshoeing, paddle and portage his canoe, or just drive out into the country and go exploring in the woods. He has a pilot's license, a brown belt in judo. Sometimes, during a dinner at a friend's house, he will excuse himself and stand on his head in the corner for five minutes. Exuberantly boyish, he likes to slide down banisters or vault...
