...world, chitchatting in fluent, slightly accented English. When visitors arrive, he will emerge wearing high, tan moccasins, skintight, sky-blue pants and flowing fuchsia shirt. Scattered about the living room are effects that mark the mystery of the man -gilt-bound tomes of Balzac and Schiller next to a pile of toys that he amuses himself with: a soccer game, a Yo-Yo, a gun that shoots pingpong balls. And everywhere there are model train locomotives, which he collects in honor of his origin. He used his earnings of about $2,800 per performance to buy an $80,000 walled...
Some women, to be sure, sail through menopause experiencing no more than changes in menstrual flow.

"That picture upset me for weeks," said Nakasa. "I had never known such personal fear, not even in South Africa." Nakasa had planned to travel through the South reporting on Civil Rights activities, but he cancelled...
...sort of bloated football across their opponents' goal line. They can run with it, kick it, or pass it laterally or backward. If a man with the ball is tackled by an opponent he must drop it immediately, and both teams form a "scrum," that is, a circular pile of men attempting to kick the ball into their possession and kick their opposition away from the ball...
