Part of the trouble may have been the absence of Chou Enlai, 77, the co-architect of Sino-American rapprochement, who is desperately ill with heart disease. Both Chiao and Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping, who appears to be running China on a day-to-day basis, are facing increasing complaints from some of their colleagues about the Washington connection. Observers note also that Kissinger and Teng seem to actively dislike each other...
There is plenty of muscle behind Hopkins' voice too, both physical and emotional. Throaty with raw gospel power, it is a hand-clapping, hip-slap ping sound, a miracle in sheer lustiness.

In Jönköping, Sweden, city fathers warned parents not to let children play on park slides. Reason: too many badly burned bottoms. Ice cream sales climbed, and Britons lapped up Dalek Death Rays Ice Lollies (ices on a stick) at the rate of 2 million a week. They also forsook their tepid brews by the million, sending the sale of chilled Continental-style beer up by 60%. Hot pants were everywhere to be seen...
