...their high school as the student body rose for the morning national anthem. An adult male streaker whipped up and down the aisles of a Pan American jumbo jet en route from London to New York. Senior Citizen Virgil Cleves, 67, was arrested in Lima, Ohio, for a bare stroll in the public square with equally bare Wanda Gray, 46. He was asking equal time for "snailing," he said, since he was too old to streak. In London's House of Commons, the danger of this latest U.S. aberration's infecting other countries was excoriated, but the warning...

In a hundred Victorian parlors like the Merriwethers', attractive parents and children play recorders and sing lieder or Cole Porter. Leather editions on subjects like Provencal poetry decorate the walls. Pedigreed dogs, knowledgeably named in Russian or even Japanese, bunk...
...living his life and building his career upon the ruined hopes and broken dreams of other people every bit his human equal, yet who--for reason of no greater sin than non-possession of the proper ticket of admission--will never be able to live as he now lives, stroll as he strolls through ivy-covered lanes, across diagonals of ancient stone between the sheltered space of shaded court yards and old red brick, Georgian walls...
