...setting for the conference, Chapultepec Castle, in whose park the Aztec emperors used to stroll, was symbolic. U.S. troops stormed the castle in 1847, and to Mexicans. Chapultepec means much the same thing that Bunker Hill means to the U.S. Among its defenders were teen-age cadets of the Mexican Military College, who are revered to this day in Mexico as the "Niños Héroes" (Boy Heroes) of Chapultepec...
...Commission seemed to find the most fascinating possibility of all in the civilian walkie-talkie. The walkie-talkie, which had not been allowed out in public before, got a ten-megacycle highway to stroll in. If a plane can now talk to the ground, and a tank commander to his tanks by walkie-talkie, FCC reasoned, why can't a store direct its delivery trucks while they are on the move?

When Zack and his girl stroll through subdued, snowless winter country, the landscape is photographed with an appreciation of the power and subtlety of weather that most U.S. moviemakers seem to lack.

The money changed hands. The sexton led the way to a family-sized crypt, which Cohen entered. The crypt's massive door slammed, was locked from the outside. Shortly after, the Germans blitzed Belgrade, then took over what was left of the city...
...year-old John Child Pearson of Blundellsland (near Liverpool), who sported the wide mustache that Sandhurst's young graduates affect. Somewhere he found a rose, and pinned it to his blouse. He stepped out, jauntily swinging his swagger stick, as casually as if he were taking a Sunday stroll in the country. He strode down the middle of the road, his men following, reached the bridge across the little stream and crossed it. There a stream of German steel caught him and he fell dead. His men went on. That night they slept in the stronghold atop Mont...
