...Glass House. Most Americans heard of Reddin only after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, when, for a period of 42 nearly sleepless hours, he directed the investigation of the murder and also expertly fielded newsmen's questions on nationwide TV. Most Californians knew of him long before, almost from the very day in February 1967 that he moved into the chief's office in L.A.'s new eight-story headquarters building, known to the force as the "Glass House...
...much life has changed is the outpouring of honors for Thomas Masaryk, the country's first President, and his son, the late Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk, who was probably murdered by the Communists. The very existence of both men was officially erased during the Novotnŷ period. Now, at the graves of the two patriots in the village of Lany, small green shrubs have been planted to form letters that spell the presidential motto, "Truth Prevails." Schools in Prague and Bratislava have been renamed after both men. And some mornings, as the train pulls into Prague Central Station...
U.C.L.A. Co-ed Jacqueline Thomas, a Negro, appraises her experience more poignantly: "I've gone through the whole bit. There was a time when I was 'thinking white' like everyone else; then I went through a period of hating everybody.

Every prophet-leader has his period of withdrawal and retreat. Ho's came when he got out of a Hong Kong prison with an aggravated case of TB. He spent the next four years (1934-38) in Russia, savoring recuperation as a "scholar recluse." In 1941, he slipped back into his homeland. For him, the return marked a kind of reincarnation, and after setting up the League for Vietnamese Independence (nicknamed the Viet Minh), he renamed himself Ho Chi Minh ("Ho who enlightens...
Imagine also Grosjean's bafflement when he found, from carbon-14 tests and other data that the menhirs belong to the period 1400 B.C. to 1200 B.C.- at least seven centuries before the golden age of Greece or the Etruscans. Earlier neolithic sculpture is totemic in nature, but Corsican menhirs, Grosjean noted, are "realistic and naturalistic, not stylized like Egyptian statues, and not divinities." To account for them, Grosjean has had to reconstruct an obscure artistic period. His starting point was a mysterious Mediterranean "People of the Sea," who left dome-shaped temples on Corsica, Sardinia and elsewhere...
