...capital's rumor mills, always idling, started to whirr in high gear with the message that there had been a coup and that key officers had been arrested. Riot police carrying wicker shields and tear gas began to cruise around the city, on guard for demonstrations; there were none. The confusion was compounded when a high-ranking government official leaked word that a coup attempt had been thwarted. Other officials denied there had been such an attempt, and President Thieu felt it necessary to go on nationwide radio and television to announce that there had been neither coup...

He and Clapton hid in a corner of the room trying, impossibly, to remain inconspicuous. Baker--chalk skin set off beneath dull orange hair, black motorcycle jacket...
...tall woman with flowing black hair, wearing a flowing black dress, comes forward to a standing mike. She starts a song, but it isn't about the setting and it isn't about the characters, for there are none yet. The song tells about life, because before being a musical about Greece or its title character, Zorba is about nameless people living, loving, suffering and dying...
