...breaking with the President, whose war policies Nixon generally supports, and by allowing Hanoi to think that it might get a better deal from Humphrey. Averell Harnman, the chief U.S. negotiator in Paris, promptly contradicted Nixon, insisting that Humphrey's speech had done nothing to jeopardize the slow-paced peace talks...
...Yugoslav battle plan calls for the army simply to slow down an enemy advance for six or seven days. After that, the Yugoslavs will fall back on what they call "our own tradition" for dealing with the invaders. It is, of course, guerrilla warfare, an art in which Tito has few peers. During World War II, Tito's partisans tied down as many as 25 German divisions, succeeded in taking control of large parts of the country even before the advancing Red army marched...
Certain that the powerhitting Tigers would be looking for fastballs and swinging freely, Gibson shrewdly mixed up his pitches, alternating sliders and slow curves with his "hummer." By the end of the eighth inning, 14 Tigers had gone down on strikes. When Gibson took the mound in the ninth, only one strikeout stood between him and Sandy Koufax's World Series record.

But the album still will not please listeners who lack a taste for musical graffiti. How could it, with songs like the slow, bluesy Stray Cat, addressed to a 15-year-old girl ("Bet your mama don't know you can bite like that")? Or the driving, syncopated Street Fighting Man ("Comes summer here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy")? Coincidentally, Fighting Man was released as a single...
