...Israel. Specifically, she asked for 25 more Phantom jet fighters (Israel has already begun to take delivery of 50, costing $200 million) and 80 Skyhawk jets. Noting the war's strain on Israel's budget, she requested a cut in the estimated 7% interest that Israel is still paying on the initial Phantom order...
...through the imperial paddyfield in Tokyo's Palace compound, stooping to cut the rice plants in an annual harvest ritual as old as the gods of Japan. Their leader, in a gray shirt and a battered panama hat, was once considered the descendant of the sun and is still patron of all agriculture-the Emperor himself. In a traditional announcement, the Palace reported that Hirohito, 68, and his chamberlains had harvested "a good crop" from the 350-square-yard paddy.

...Actually, we're already married, really," says America's 25-year-old folk hero, "because people get married when they love each other."

He didn't quite understand his new college, but it was making him think. Whether his new students will think as deeply as they feel remains to be seen. It should...
...portrays a burnt-cork-face minstrel in reverse. This is a handsome black musician masked, glassed, in a transparent nightmare of snow white. The score before him is withered moonlight. The snakes who wove a raft to carry him have fled away beneath the sea. He holds his flute still, as a drowning man clutches a straw. There could be no greater gulf than that which separates Stuart's Flautist from the Black King painted by Hieronymus Bosch. The King is Caspar, the Moorish monarch and one of the Three Magi. He dominates Bosch's Epiphany...
