...house cold and my speed down. But when my relatives tell me there is gas aplenty, even on weekends, and 70-m.p.h. speeders in California, Texas and Florida, my "popular mood" is hardly "sour skepticism." In short, I am madder than hell, and firmly convinced that we in the Northeast are truly being ripped...
Sometimes while riding a ski lift to the top of a mountain in the northeast, a quirky furious wind suddenly blasts out of nowhere. A bracing gust howls across a valley, provoking violent rocking of your chair suspended high on the liftline. The wind picks up a lot of light snow and you have to close your eyes.

...races will be spread out all over the land and the famous parties will suffer. The slalom and giant slalom will be held today at Waterville Valley, sixty miles to the northeast.

Between the clinics and public and other non-Catholic hospitals, a total of 598,283 abortions were performed...
Thai students last week also found time for a demonstration against the U.S. It was sparked by reports in three Thai newspapers that an American CIA agent had sent Premier Sanya a fake letter purporting to be from a Communist insurgent leader in Northeast Thailand and offering a cease-fire in return for autonomy in rebel-held areas. The clumsy gambit, apparently, was to sow disillusion among insurgents by making them believe that their leaders were willing to settle for less than victory over the whole country. The demonstrators demanded the expulsion of Ambassador William R. Kinter; he remained...
