...Carnera story. Like the onetime (1933-34) heavyweight champion, Toro Moreno ("El Toro, the wild man of the Andes") is a big country bumpkin who stands 6 ft. 7¾ in., weighs 285 Ibs., and serves his opponents a punch that would scarcely be too stiff for a six-year-old's birthday party. Like Carnera, El Toro (touchingly portrayed by Wrestler Mike Lane) falls among thieves. A well-known gambler and fixologist named Nick Benko (played good and heavy by Rod Steiger) buys up his contract and starts to fatten the Bull for the kill...
...political reporter, analyst and author, Samuel (The Future of American Politics) Lubell, 44, has long trudged across the U.S. ringing doorbells like a brush salesman, shaking hands like a Kefauver and asking questions with the persistence of a six-year-old.

That's the hierarchy of family living we try to keep." Through the sixth grade, children attend classes at the school. After that, they go to regular public schools...
...last to get in under the wire was six-year-old Ahmed Hassan, who had been left behind with grandparents in Bombay after his parents visited India three years ago. Traveling alone, little Ahmed managed to get a seat on one of the last planes leaving Nairobi for Johannesburg. Failing that, he would have been barred from his parents' home permanently. In the future not even a baby born to a South African Asian while traveling abroad will be allowed to enter its mother's country, and a South African Asian marrying abroad will be unable to bring...
