...enjoyed their six-month experience. The booms affected people and houses as far as 16 miles from the flight path. A total of 9,594 people complained of damage to buildings, 4,629 filed formal damage claims, and 229 collected $12,845.32, mostly for broken glass and cracked plaster. The reports on the experiment concluded cautiously that the booms did little harm to properly constructed buildings, but made no commitment about the possible effects of frequent and long-continued booms, or about what kind of buildings could be considered improperly constructed. No items were knocked off walls or shelves...
...Croasdale, his hand just recently removed from a plaster cast, took the hammer throw with a creditable 173 ft., 4 in. toss, but could manage only a second place with his best effort in the shot, an abysmal 49 ft., 2 in.

Hello to the Girls. No one environment is right for all the centuries, it was decided, and there is no bare white plaster anywhere in the galleries.

Two hours later, as the Viet Cong were combing through the wreckage, another wave of Air Force F-100 and F-105 fighter bombers swept in over Phuqui to plaster the surprised V.C. again. Phuqui was the repository of 12% of all North Viet Nam's ammunition-and fully half of it was destroyed in the one-two punch, bringing to 10% the total of Viet Cong arms stores destroyed since U.S. retaliatory air strikes began last month...
...either vulgar or epicene, and need a supercilious, tuxedo-skinned British barman to insult and be insulted by. The two sons present would like the two fathers present to drop dead. When the girls express their contempt by simultaneously breaking wind and then pelt the place with tennis balls, plaster spills, roof beams totter, and it becomes clear that Kopit is one of the cosmic jokesmiths who want playgoers to read books of revelation between the wisecracks. What Tennis may portend is that self-contained worlds, either private clubs or entire civilizations, invite and perhaps deserve destruction. Nevertheless, the play...
