...Czechs are now among the most demanding and least obedient. To other Communists, their capital of Prague has become the swinging city of Eastern Europe, where miniskirts are modish, teen-agers dance to a Western beat and long hair flows from the scalps of young men in flowery sport shirts and bell-bottom trousers...
...other African state. This fiscal year American aid will reach $62 million-mostly in Food for Peace. Though politically pro-West, Bourguiba also welcomes Communist aid: the Russians are building Tunisia's first institute of technology, and the Bulgarians financed a gleaming new 70,000-seat sport stadium outside Tunis.

The hubcaps on Ursula Andress' BMW, on the other hand, sport medallions that depict Ursula emerging from a swimming pool...
...Sport may be mostly a matter of muscle, but a little science sometimes goes a long way. A 17-ft. pole vault is common enough today, but was utterly inconceivable before the invention of the fiber-glass jumping pole. The latest sport to feel the impact of technology is tennis, in which almost any change is a change for the better...
