...Christ. True, Christ ascended bodily into heaven before the eyes of the astonished Apostles after his resurrection. But he had been circumcised in the temple as an infant, and the Holy Foreskin, preserved by a succession of devout guardians, is said to have found its way eventually into the sanctum sanctorum of the Vatican. A German mercenary laid his rude hands on it during the Sack of Rome in 1527 and stole it away; it was lost for 30 years and then turned up in Calcata, where this new reliquary was made for it. It has been there...
...House lawn to denounce the Ford plan before the television cameras. Again it was hard talk, but it was civilized, the kind of ritual on which good government thrives. Ford's ubiquitous staff members reported back to him what was happening out front. Rather than hide in his sanctum, the President decided to go out on the lawn and rebut the critics.

Thanks to a growing interest in physical fitness and the well-publicized success of superstars like Billie Jean King, girls are taking up sports in increasing numbers and with greater gusto than ever before. Not that most of them want to compete with boys; the emphasis is still largely on single-sex athletic programs, with the opportunities for women expanded. In Dallas, almost 100 girls from six to 16 turned out last...
...faithful Indian companion, Tonto, and a 200-carpower horse, Silver. The Green Hornet had a faithful Japanese valet, Kato (during World War II Kato abruptly became a Filipino), and a supercar with the name of a horse, Black Beauty. The supernatural thrived in a Poe-like atmosphere on Inner Sanctum and Lights Out -programs that featured echo chambers, creaking doors and the indelible clack of skeletons rising from granite tombs. Dashiell Hammett's detectives, Sam Spade, The Thin Man and The Fat Man, gave audiences a private eye and earful; other ops-Philip Marlowe, Philo Vance and Martin Kane...
