Faun in Old Felt. In his 35 years in Africa, Ionides has lived for ten days on the partial contents of two ostrich eggs, been trampled by a charging elephant resulting in total deafness of one ear, climbed a 100-ft. tree, despite acrophobia, and with only one arm free, brought down a writhing mamba. He has been bitten by snakes half a dozen times, recorded his numbed sensations and degrees of pain with cool scientific exactitude, and never used antivenin. He has had an entire native village flogged for disobedience and has no qualms about flogging ("It is simple...
...landed in the valley bearing another 200 soldiers. They were the pick of the Royal Army and. hopefully, could stop any new Communist advance and stabilize the battle lines for the expected ceasefire. As the lines stood, the Pathet Lao held three provinces, and the government had at least partial control of the other nine...
...always agree on usage. The Indianapolis Star spells it "clew," the Indianapolis News "clue." Most papers capitalize Pope, but the Miami Herald does not.

In spring of 1960 agreement was reached on a controlled ban of explosions, underwater tests, air tests, and underground tests producing a seismographic signal in excess...
...percentages provided producers the following "educated guesses": SAT verbal--695, SAT math--660, English Achievement--725. Nevertheless, test scores weigh heavily enough that the Committee places them at the back of each applicant's folder--where the reader will not see them until she has already formed a partial picture of the candidate in question. Moreover, the Committee is currently trying to arrive at a formula evaluating SAT scores, achievement tests, and rank in secondary school class to project a freshman average for each applicant. When the formula is obtained, it is plain that predicted Rank List will join...
