...would be a mistake to assume, however, that to get our way in the Cold War we need only stomp around the world brandishing our rockets and calling on the Russians to back off or be destroyed. For the present crisis was not a triumph of American brinksmanship so much as a failure of past policy...
...Angeles Lakers toppled the Detroit Pistons in the Western Division, even the pros seemed a little tired of it all. Contact on the court came often and carelessly; the fouls were no longer subtle. In one game, the Celtics' defensive specialist Bill Russell seemed determined to stomp the opposition down (see cut). Pile-ups under the basket were alive with flying elbows.

An artful change of pace from the robust to the exotic brings a Yemenite wedding ceremony, in which the color of spectacle-cloth-of-gold gowns, jeweled headdresses, a pinpricked panoply...
...even the stately BBC has begun to show its hips: a new TV series began last month, called The Trad Fad. With a clear and poundingly straightforward beat that avoids the more intricate mathematics of modern jazz, trad centers in such items as Tiger Rag and Cushion Foot Stomp, but often goes absolutely daft with kick-me-baby versions of things like Billy Boy and In a Persian Garden...
