...markedly older in appearance now, his wispy, blown-dry hair a shade grayer than it was a year ago. The sagging skin around his neck adds years to his appearance and is accentuated by a recent loss of weight, the result of his 30 miles of weekly jogging to ward off the fatigue of his job. Much of the freshness is gone, washed away by criticism, defeats, frustration and the cacophony of demands aimed...
...newest structure in town is Maranatha Baptist Church, result of a schism precipitated in the Plains Baptist Church by a racial dilemma in the wake of Jimmy's election. The newest organic matter seems to be a small garden given by the citizens of Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

But Soviet officials do not see it that way, and as Teng touched down in Washington, the delicate triangular relationship among the U.S., China and the U.S.S.R. was hanging in the balance...
Since taking office, the Prime Minister had tried to prevent, as he put it, the "historic bloodshed" that would result from a confrontation between supporters of the Ayatullah and Iran's 340,000-man armed forces. In a televised appeal for support last week, Bakhtiar outlined the reforms that his government was carrying out: releasing political prisoners, ending censorship, abolishing SAVAK, the secret police, and speeding up the corruption trials of former public officials...
