...demanded in his court. He invariably wrote three or four drafts of every opinion in longhand on yellow foolscap before the language and reasoning finally satisfied him. His opinions cut to the marrow of the issue and proceeded eloquently but rapidly to the point. Hand's famed 28-page opinion on United States v. Aluminum Co. of America, in which he ruled that "good" monopolies had no more legality than "bad" monopolies, was distilled from 40,000 pages and four years of testimony, has been a model for every subsequent antitrust suit...
Before long, impressive, two-page ads stressing Cuba's charm and conviviality ("If Cuba could be said to have one predominant art it would have to be the art of living") were appearing in U.S. newspapers and magazines. But Harris began to doubt his own copy when Ernesto (Che) Guevara became Economics Minister of Cuba and early in 1960 cut off Harris' monthly checks.

West Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt, seems unable to get his campaign far enough...
...Croydon. Led by agile Wicket-keeper Trevor Cowdell, 15, and Captain-elect John Wells, 14. Lanfranc's cricket team was unbeatable, the best in all Surrey. Sixteen-year-old Reggie Chappie won a Surrey schoolboy boxing Championship. Fourteen-year-old Quentin Green made a memorably squeaky-voiced page in Lanfranc's production of Romeo and Juliet. But for 34 Lanfrancians, the best was yet to be: a school-sponsored camping trip in the rugged highlands of Norway...
