...France," a well-traveled patient told a doctor in Newcastle upon Tyne, "when a horse develops clots in its legs, it is treated with a diet of garlic and onions." The doctor was a Burma-born heart-disease researcher, I. Sudhakaran Menon, and the remark suggested to him a novel line of attack on the problem of clot formation in human blood vessels...
...Newley never graduates to the sophomoric. Female characters are given Ian Fleming labels with a touch of Li'l Abner: Polyester Poontang, Miss Maidenhead Fern, Trampolena Whambang and Miss Hope Climax. Jokes consist of lethal single entendres like "Heironymus lays them in the aisles," or Berle's remark as he rows a boat on a sandy beach: "I haven't passed water in three days." Between them, Newley rants some chants that are mislabeled songs, appears more naked than his victims, and plots along in the hope that some day it will all make sense and money...
There were moments, however, amid the silences, grunts and inconsequential chatter of the tapes, that elicited happy looks from Sirhan's defenders. When talk somehow turned to jigsaw puzzles, Sirhan was heard to remark impatiently: "If I can't do it fast enough-if I can't match the whole picture-I give up."

...People. His best-known statement of policy, "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees," was one of the slogans in the Mexico City student revolt only last summer.

To the old regime in Zapata's time, he was a bandit of a new Attila; to the ruling class today, he remains the ominous symbol for the dark forces within the dispossessed which could still...
...highest in two decades. That upsurge reflected, more than anything, smoldering fears about the future of the franc. The spark that started the rise, however, was President Nixon's call two weeks ago for "new approaches" to international monetary problems. It was only an offhand remark, but French speculators misinterpreted it as a sign that Nixon might favor a rise in the price of gold or some basic revamping of currency values. When the President discusses money matters in Europe this week, he will find that many financial leaders fear that the speculators will open a new "spring offensive...
