...sleeping volcano. Last week it erupted with a sickening blast. Deputies Moore and Rogers were cruising in their police car one night near the hamlet of Varnado, seven miles north of Bogalusa. An old pickup truck caught up with them from behind. Shotgun bursts smashed the deputies' rear window. Then the truck drew abreast of the car. A second volley ripped out. It caught Rogers in the shoulder and blew Moore's head open...
...program opened last month when Lincoln Blake, a first-year English lecturer, invited one of his former English professors, the University of Chicago's Mark Ashin, to attend his morning classes. Ashin sat unobtrusively at the rear of the room, took notes, then conferred with Blake for an hour daily to pinpoint ways in which the class could have been improved. "We saw where he got off the track here, or had skipped over a point there," explains Ashin. Most helpful, recalls Blake, were Ash in's keen pointers on how "to use questions to bring the students...
...shone for only 13 min. during the 31-hr. race- and 2 min. of that was the fault of a careless official who pulled the switch by mistake. Rookies finished third, fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth.

The two "horns" raced out to either flank; their mission was to lock in the enemy flesh. The "loins" encircled the rear. The "chest," or main body, rolled like a tidal wave over the British line. By sunset, it was all over. The victorious impi vanished, leaving more than 2,000 of their own dead. But at Isandhlwana, not a single defender remained. The only survivors were the 55 Europeans and some...
Pole Winner Foyt narrowly escaped injury when the rear suspension of his Lotus-Ford broke and the left rear wheel snapped off. Veteran Parnelli Jones, who won the 500 in 1963, was badly shaken up in a similar accident: he was drifting through the northwest turn at 150 m.p.h. when the suspension of his Lotus collapsed. "All of a sudden the back end started steering the front," Parnelli shuddered later. The car slammed into the wall, slid 570 ft., spun, slid again, and finally came to rest 110 ft. onto the infield grass...
