Blue Lines. Twin lines running parallel across the width of the ice that divide the rink into three 60-ft. zones-attacking, defending and neutral (center ice). When a team is on the attack, the puck must cross the opponent's blue line ahead of all offensive players (to prevent them from lurking around the goal, waiting for a length-of-the-ice pass); otherwise play is stopped and reopened with a face...
...Nams were artificially separated by the 1954 Geneva accords, and that the separation amounts to nothing but a legal fiction. Hull and Novogrod point out that in 1946, "the French recognized Ho Chi Minh's 'Republic of Viet Nam' (covering Viet Nam north of the 16th parallel) as a free state." As for South Viet Nam, it had been accepted by a majority of the U.N. General Assembly as a "peace-loving state" and would have been admitted to membership in 1952 and again in 1957 except for Russia's Security Council vetoes...
Chipping Away. Subtly playing on national sensibilities, with none other than Chiang Kai-shek's son and heir apparent Chiang Ching-kuo pulling the strings, government-backed all-Chinese China Airlines (CAL) started chipping away at CAT's route map last April. First CAL began flying parallel flights from Taipei to Hong Kong and Tokyo, then took over CAT's routes to Seoul and Manila. It bought three Boeing 727 jets with government guaranteed loans and, recently, a former Taiwan air force chief, who is also a close associate of Chiang Ching-kuo's, appeared...
...Gramont sees it, the times were not so much ripe for revolution as overripe with monarchy. Louis XVI was so far out of touch with the changing political style that he did not even suspect a dangerous parallel when he saw one-the American Revolution. While Marie Antoinette gushed about "our good republicans, our good Americans," Louis, it is said, made a gift of a Sevres chamber pot with Benjamin Franklin's likeness on the base...
While the protesters calmly held to their resolve of Thursday night to demonstrate non-obstructively, the men in Massachusetts Hall pushed a new provocation at the crowd outside. William Bentinck-Smith, assistant to President Pusey, evoked an urbane George Wallace as he guarded the door. The parallel may be imprecise, but Bentinck-Smith risked a serious, possibly violent, confrontation by stubbornly refusing to let more than two protesters in. That authoritarian gesture (contrasted with the tolerance Deans Ford and Glimp showed toward the protest) heightened the symbolic remoteness of the highest level of University Administration from students...
