...said Soviet Historian Pyotr Yakir on the eve of Richard Nixon's arrival in Moscow for the summit meeting. "It is time to end the Middle Ages." Last week plainclothes officers of the KGB (secret police) burst into Yakir's apartment, hustled him into a black Volga sedan, and took him to Lefortovo Prison, where he faces charges of passing information to the West about dissent in the Soviet Union...
...becoming a writer in 1962, Francis was for some years the best steeplechaser in England, eventually becoming jockey to the Queen Mother. He knows the hedges and hazards, the sites and social slights of British steeplechasing the way a car owner knows the dashboard of his five-year-old sedan.

He has a Mercedes-Benz sedan to replace a Porsche, which he found too cramping, and recently purchased a house designed by Richard Neutra...
...battered old sedan wound its way along a narrow ribbon of dirt road in Clay County's back country. On the way, the former sheriff who had agreed to produce an authentic moonshiner spoke with real pride of the man's wares. "His whisky's good stuff-crystal clear," he said. "Stinks to high heaven, but if you can get past the smell, it'll set you on your head or butt faster 'n he'd blow your innards out for smiling courtin'-like at his daughters. When I was high sheriff...
