Despite such shortcomings, however, the Soviet consumer has never had it so good. Food shops arrange supplies, while they last, in neat, tempting pyramids. New Soviet shopping centers such as the showplace stores along Moscow's Kalinin Prospekt are virtually indistinguishable in appearance from shops in West Berlin or Amsterdam...
...straight Japanese championships, gave a preview of that prospect when they met the Baltimore Orioles, winners of last year's World Series, in an exhibition game at Miami. First Baseman Sadaharu Oh, the "Babe Ruth of Japan," who slugged 47 homma last season and earns a neat $120,000 a year, drove in two runs on two hits, using an odd, dog-at-a-hydrant batting stance that hasn't been seen in the U.S. since the heyday of Mel Ott. Oh's occidental counterpart, mountainous Boog Powell (35 home runs and a $90,000 salary), went...

So, also, if we find our Connecticut cousins rather unnecessarily patriotic, imbued somewhat deeply with...
...present CFIA studies and activities warrants the abolishment of that institution, then the SDS not only lost, but lost badly. For the SDS to admit the possibility of intra-institutional reform through humane, factual discussion by students and faculty, and through radical critique, would presumably be incompatible with the neat SDS model of revolutionary change. But to deny this possibility (or necessity) of rational assessment and reform where needed is not only to ignore the unrefuted preponderance of progressive contributions of the Center, but it is to belittle the capacity of most University members to make intelligent and moral judgments...
