...Roar from Father. Living Free follows Elsa and her human den mother from the lioness' mating, at the beginning of September 1959, through the birth of three cubs 108 days later. The Adamsons established a camp in the game reserve where Elsa had been turned loose, and kept a herd of goats to be doled out when the pregnant lioness could not hunt for herself (Joy Adamson is sentimental about all kinds of animals, but she is a realist, and pet lions do not eat canned cat food). Elsa's life in the bush did not affect...
...dozens of barracks and off-base housing units, thousands of U.S. men and officers snap awake and dive for field uniforms and equipment. One by one, the diesel engines of the squat, 52-ton M-60 tanks cough and rumble to life. In quick order, the assembled units roar down serpentine German roads toward fighting positions that have long since been plotted for protective cover and fields of fire. Within two hours of the first cry of the sirens, the 14,617-man 3rd Armored Division of the U.S. Seventh Army is braced in battle deployment against any Communist thrust...
...Broyles was an assistant at Baylor in 1947, assigned to the spotting phone in the press box during the S.M.U. game.

...Libertad." By 5 p.m. on the appointed afternoon, Boza's church and the narrow, cobbled streets surrounding it were packed with 4,000 people. A few began to call out "Cuba Si, Rusia No"-and "Libertad." Before long, the chants swelled into a continuing roar. A group of youths climbed the church belfry and rang the bells, but they could barely be heard. The demonstration went on for three hours, mounting in intensity as the crowd chanted "Down with Castro!" One Havana police captain wormed his way into the church, confronted Boza, then startled everyone by ripping...
...satire on hi-fi and electronics there is a tape recorder that plays bagpipes when it is fed Scotch tape. Also, there is a biweekly revival of Aesop, who tells fables for our prime time, such as one about a neurotic lion who would rather sing than roar. Every time he tries to roar, he sneezes. ''You need help. Leo baby," says his friend the fox. And with the fox as agent, Leo becomes a celebrated pop singer, turning out albums with titles like You're Lion to Me and Lion Goes Latin. The sneeze vanishes...
