Instinct Alone. It was not over. The weather, good for twelve days, burst with a snowstorm. All landmarks disappeared; at one point they were near panic at the thought of starvation when someone spotted the blade of an ice ax that Jake had whimsically stuck beside a food cache, a needle point of steel gleaming in an ocean of snow. On instinct alone, Buckingham found the snow corridor that threaded through a region splintered by crevasses. And finally back down to 7,000 ft., they were plucked from McKinley's flank by their pilot...
...were imperialism's decadent gifts to Asia. Cracking down on Singapore s boisterous seamy side, Lee banned jukeboxes, closed down some 1,200 pinball machines, and ordered the Singapore radio to stop broadcasting rock 'n' roll. Later he ruled that the jukeboxes could stay if they stuck to the classics-Beethoven and Chopin, for example. Meanwhile, police cleared the newsstands of pornography, padlocked eight girlie-magazine publishers and swooped through bars, sending B-girls home. Mapping a massive assault on Singapore's notorious gangsterism, police debated issuing identification cards to Singapore's 7,000 known...
Only through Dominique's rose-colored mules, which she had kicked off in her agony, were the police able to identify the charred body.

Friends still remember with a kind of awed surprise the evening she brought Steffie to a party, stuck the child in a wicker basket and put her in a closet to sleep. Later the party moved off in search of a progressive jazz pianist who was never found. Far later it wound up at a nightspot called the Crescendo. Steffie was still in the closet, sleeping peacefully...
Behind sandbag barricades and rifle-toting guards, Haiti's strong-willed President Francois Duvalier lay last week in his white palace, seriously ill of a heart attack. Out of fear that the truth would embolden opposition elements to start trouble, his aides stuck to a diagnosis of "grippe," but only succeeded in starting dangerous rumors-that Duvalier was paralyzed, was already dead, or had left the country. Superstitious blacks in the Port-au-Prince slums whispered that the President's ouangas (voodoo charms) had lost their power...
