...repair and new construction. On the Sunday after Mao's death, TIME Diplomatic Editor Jerrold Schecter reported from Peking, "instead of taking the customary day off, thousands of workers, students and soldiers labored on the rebuilding of the gray stone homes that line the capital city's narrow alleyways; an estimated 30,000 houses were damaged by the July 28 earthquake. In Kweilin, southwest China's poetic wonderland of rivers, caves and mountains, mourning meant memorial meetings and work. Long lines of students one day walked sobbing along the main street of Kweilin with white paper wreaths...
...fact, the only rooms that don't attract the traffic that moves steadily up and down the narrow staircases are those just inside the entrance, the information and ticket sales desks. The line for participation tickets--sold to graduate students and faculty members who want to use the facilities maintained by the College--is already six or seven people long, and the information desk is besieged with questions about available squash courts and swimming pools. These students are not Boylston Street regulars, on the whole; no one who is really interested in Harvard athletics is likely to stop in often...
Students as well, both black and white, may have finally made the selfish and encouraging decision to look after their narrow interests, to get on and get out with a diploma and at least get a respectable job. Or so the comments of Jerome S. Winegar, the former Minnesota-based school administrator who Judge Garrity approved for headmaster at South Boston High last year, seem to indicate.

The seemingly anti-Semitic tone of his campaign angered Senator Barry Goldwater, the most highly respected figure in Arizona politics. He endorsed Steiger, who had already won the support of Senator Fannin. Throwing aside all caution, Conlan further provoked Goldwater by telling a reporter: "I don't know what it is with Barry. Maybe it's the pain [from a hip operation]. Maybe it's the drinking he's been doing." The outraged Goldwater struck back...
...long, heavy robes apparently intended to represent both royalty and their guilty burden. But the onlooker simply worries about whether, in their ceaseless circling, one may trip over the other's train. Lady Macbeth's wondrous sleepwalking scene is a long left-to-right stroll on a narrow ledge. The only problem is that Verdi was not interested in a high-wire act-Bellini took care of that very nicely in La Sonnambula-but in the play of Lady Macbeth's bloodstained hands. As Strehler directs her, Lady Macbeth (Verrett) has plenty of trouble keeping her balance...
