...deceptively reasonable tones, Stassen retorts: "I realize the small power I have within the G.O.P., but I have confidence I can win in November." He is used to derision, he says. "I steel myself. I've been in the center and out, and back. This is part of my life." It is an utterly quixotic part, at best, and scarcely rational, but he is determined to play it to its lonely...
...aircraft, Jeeps and trucks. Dust-caked Marines stacked up the aluminum matting that had formed Khe Sanh's 4,000-ft. runway, during the siege, its only link to the outside. Demolition men destroyed bunker after bunker, the single bit of protection against the rain of North Vietnamese steel that had lashed the base for almost half a year and cost its U.S. Marine defenders 199 dead and 1,600 wounded...
...last week in a flack-fixed rematch, their panting efforts damaged nothing but the memories of the three Pier Six brawls-among the most savage in all boxing history-that they slugged out from 1946 to 1948.

In its avoidance of a major theme, The Bride Wore Black opts for the minor genre of suspense; but within those bounds it is very nearly a masterpiece...
...measures will affect at least 10% of France's total imports and a far bigger share of its exports. They include ceilings on such goods from abroad as autos, trucks, electrical appliances, textiles and a number of steel products. The subsidies come in the form of more liberal government credit for manufacturers engaged in exporting and indemnities to compensate for recent increases in their wage costs. At the same time, French Finance Minister Maurice Couve de Murville moved to curb inflationary pressures at home by warning that "severe measures" would be taken against excessive price increases...
