Other respondents considered Central Square too ordinary a place to think of a story about. What did they mean by ordinary? Well, there are neighborhoods resembling it in a lot of people's home towns. Broadway in New York is flanked by a similar utilitarian snarl of dingy department stores and stark donut or submarine joints. From my own experience in Midwestern cities of about 200,000 inhabitants or less, I can cull couples and triples of Central Square cafes with blacked out windows and steel doors bearing discreet Budweiser placards, or upper stories rented by optometrists, orthodontists and somebody...
Feisty headlines are an old fixture at the News, which has long delighted straphangers with such morning eye-openers as SICK TRANSIT, INGLORIOUS MONDAY after a brief subway snarl-up, HE'S BARISH ON AMERICA when a young stockbroker went streaking on Wall Street, and BOOLA BOOLA, MOOLA MOOLA over a story on the earning power of Yale graduates. Inside, however, much of the News these days is new. After decades of preoccupation with ax murders, "sexsational" divorce cases and other tabloid staples, the Noo Yawk News is going respectable...
SOME OF THE MORE obvious perspective changes in the book come from attitudes women could once laugh off, but now snarl at.

The Israelis in charge of Ras Sudr insisted that the Texans had to sign for the Arab Republic of Egypt. Well, no, said Engineering Consultant Billy Marcum of Dallas; he and his buddies...
ALMOST A YEAR after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus the United States is still reluctant to focus on the reason behind the snarl in the eastern Mediterranean: a foreign army has deprived a republic--albeit just a splinter of land--of its independence and territorial integrity. When Turkish forces began landing on Cyprus last July 20, the official American response glibly called these maneuvers minor military actions. A corridor of land spanning Nicosia, the Cypriot capital, and Kyrania, another large northern city, had been taken before the Turks agreed to rechannel their pursuit of, as they phrased it, "political...
