Frantic Calls. The calm proved shortlived. In what became the most violent week in Saigon since the 1968 Tet offensive, scores of antigovernment and anti-American demonstrations broke out, bringing a rash of firebombings and rock-throwing incidents. The first incident occurred when U.S. Senator George McGovern, a presidential candidate and vigorous opponent of the war, arrived at a Saigon church to attend a meeting of a prison reform committee...

...eliminate those troubles, Skinner designed Deborah's crib with temperature and humidity controls so that she could be warm and naked at the same time. Besides the hoped-for results?Deborah never suffered from a rash, for instance?the crib provided an unexpected fringe benefit: the Skinners discovered that the baby was so sensitive to even the slightest change in temperature that she could be made happy simply by moving the thermostat a notch or two. "We wonder how a comfortable temperature is ever reached with clothing and blankets," Skinner wrote in a 1945 issue of Ladies' Home Journal. "During...

Packaged Audience. Brown is at pains to include every conceivable cliche of documentary film making. There is plenty of slow motion, a rash of feeble jokes (mostly involving riders taking a fall or splattering themselves with mud), and a musical score by Dominic Frontiere that sounds as if it were lifted straight out of some industrial short like The Glory of Tupperware.

...popping corks that celebrated the agreement, the British battle over membership is, in a sense, only beginning. Some Tory Cabinet Ministers forecast a 150-vote majority for British entry into the Market when the question is put to Commons in the fall. But that could prove a very rash prediction.

Going into the Belmont, the tune had changed. Reggie Cornell, the trainer of Eastern Fleet, would not even enter his horse. "Not me," he said. "I'll let somebody else chase that cannon-ball." Nevertheless, a lot of somebodies decided to try-especially after a skin rash and an infected hoof caused Cañonero to miss two days of training. By post time, the field had grown to 13; nine of the horses Cañonero had never met before, including a speedy bay colt named Pass Catcher who had registered two firsts and a second...
