Chewing Firecrackers. Physically, Frol Kozlov is a sturdy specimen (5 ft. 8 in., 176 Ibs.) of Kremlin man. His hands are small and active, and so are his well-shod feet. He has a big, oval face, pale as a Siberian snowfall, and his nose is straight and narrow-bridged. When he smiles, a thin upper lip edges high to reveal a set of glistening teeth and a flash of gold, and little lines creep round his fleshy face and forehead like crinkled aluminum foil.

Broken Journey. John Calvin was 27 and a thoroughly skilled philosopher-theologian on the July day in 1536 when he first arrived in Geneva-a tired, thin young man of middle height with a pale, finely chiseled face, a long nose and a pointed beard.

Though he soon gave way to tears, he still managed to keep his old red head in describing his bout with the malignant growth in his chest. "That damnable" tumor had even adhered to the aorta, great artery from the heart. Sobbing...
...nothing of British wives-that Terry seems to have lost the loyalty of neither. One night last week, with five MPs guarding the doors and bobbies examining all fans for concealed tomatoes and eggs, Terry Dene appeared before a packed movie house in Derby. Dressed in a long, pale jacket and skin-tight pants, he began his hip-flinging comeback with Just One More Chance. There were hoots from angry men ("Get back in the army"), but the whoops from the ecstatic girls drowned them...
