...assumed the Chinese would welcome us as fellow oppressed peoples because we were all minority students. Thirteen of us were black. There were two Puerto Ricans, two Chicanos; one girl was of German descent and one fellow was of Polish ancestry. The only Oriental in our group was a Japanese-American girl whose parents grew up near Tokyo. One of the Chicanos, who became a U.S. citizen only six weeks before we left the country, told a reporter covering our trip preparations that the Chinese "are interested in the Latin community." We were also the youngest group to visit China...

Among the Irgun's acts of savagery under his command were the blowing up of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, the hanging of two British sergeants, and the massacre of at least...
Savalas' Kojak is far less violent and ready for the chase than CBS'S Mannix. He solves crimes with his head, like a Polish Sherlock Holmes. In last week's episode, fragments from a dead man's glasses ultimately led him to the heart of a crooked urban-renewal scheme. This week he pieces together clues from a drug addict that set him on the trail of a fellow detective turned criminal...
