...York City last week, six of their leaders were invited to the dining rooms atop the Time & Life Building by Time Inc. Editor in Chief Henry Grunwald, TIME Managing Editor Ray Cave and Chief of Correspondents Richard Duncan. Vice President Walter Mondale was witty and articulate despite the sore throat that also made his acceptance speech sound a bit scratchy. Hamilton Jordan, deputy chairman of Carter's re-election committee, was visibly more confident, poised and worldly than at a similar lunch in the same room four years ago. Carter Re-Election Chairman Robert Strauss was a lively storyteller...
Jeffrey Brown, 11, came home from a Cub Scout meeting in Dedham, Mass., one day last spring feeling sick. He had vomited, and by next morning was lethargic and complaining that his neck hurt. Jeffrey seemed to be coming down with a sore throat, but soon his temperature reached 106° F (41° C). A lymph gland in his neck swelled to golf-ball size, his lips and tongue turned strawberry, and scarlet blotches appeared on his chest and back. Jeffrey's illness: a perplexing and long unrecognized childhood malady called Kawasaki disease...
...Dick Nixon the grocery clerk became Richard Nixon the politician, the gripes became political sore points. The beefy, "affable if sometimes bumptious" Don with the trademark ski-jump nose was a businessman of questionable ethics, apparently a family affliction.

When the chain developed a few weak links, Howard Hughes selflessly donated $205,000 to the cause, a loan that Don never repaid (a loan not unlike Colonel Khadaffi's contribution to Billy Carter's coffers...
...each other when they agree less and diverge more, and ideally, mutual understanding is an aim of friendship. And so, ideally again, the U.S. should have thumped old France on the back it turned. Of course, ideals really have nothing to do with the relationship. The U.S. is sore as hell at France (the U.S. is usually sore as hell at France) because France insists on being itself. Not that being oneself is necessarily a virtue in this instance. Friendship also depends on a shared sense of values...
...started the season on the bench, suffering with a sore arm. When coach Alex Nahigian gave him his chance after a series of impressive relief appearances, the decision paid off--in spades. The Crimson wound up the season at 24-12, triumphing in a grueling showdown with Cornell and Yale to win the Eastern League, topping perennial power Brandeis to cop the Greater Boston League crown, and only succumbing to St. John's in the NCAA regionals in extra innings--a couple of wins short of the College World Series...
