...worth. The main building, 600 yds. long with its two 150-yd. wings, had 2,000 rooms and could house 1,000 noblemen with their retinues. In 1687, Louis felt the need for a bit of privacy and built the Grand Trianon, a modest 72-room hideaway of pink and green marble, a mile and a half away. That edifice, in turn, inspired the Petit Trianon, a 30-room cottage that Louis XV built for his mistress Madame de Pompadour in 1762. When Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette fell victim to the French Revolution in 1789, so did Versailles...
...average monthly wage. The same penalty applies to anyone caught organizing a newswalk. Some methods of retaliation are even harsher. Students arrested in demonstrations are routinely expelled from school. After workers at Swidnik's factory joined a 15-minute work stoppage on May 13, some strikers received pink slips.

Loren was chauffeured by police in a white Alfa Romeo to Casa Circondariale, a pink-walled women's prison near her native Naples. Carrying a bouquet that could have concealed a good-size hacksaw, Sophia was cheered by fellow inmates as she was escorted to a 10-ft.-sq. cell. Skeptics attributed Loren's homecoming to her planned starring role in a film that...
Probably so. That these men know something the rest of us do not is undeniable. Merle Bettenhausen, a man with stretched, shiny pink skin and a hook for a right arm, said one time in Indy's Gasoline Alley, "I know why you feel sorry for me, but you don't know why I feel sorry for you." The name Bettenhausen is engraved at Indianapolis everywhere but on the trophy. The father, Tony, died in a practice run in 1961. Two of his sons, Gary and Tony Jr., both drive at Indy. Merle would...
