...China who started the border war, compounded by your diabolical plot of calling unilaterally for a cease-fire, withdrawing your troops, and returning the weapons of the peaceloving followers of Gandhi, may have fooled the Chinese people, but the American people weren't fooled for a minute. Your fiendish stunt of peacefully settling your borders with every other country to the south, including giving Burma a net 25,000 square miles of territory that was previously China's was merely a further attempt to make Gandhi's children appear the villains...
...stunt worthy of Gulley Jimson? Hundertwasser, 36, is not fictional and is twice as eccentric. He writes steamy manifestoes, the most famous of which praised rust, rot and decay as mankind's truest friends. Now living in Venice, he sometimes dresses like an unholy relic in caftan, brocaded jacket and boots, sometimes in a kimono to match his Japanese wife. He painted his Citroën sedan in varying hues of metallic violet and noted it in his life catalogue as his 445th work of art. The rest of his 611 recorded works are the product of a wise...
Rosenberg's parting selection originates from Norway to Mexico, from 1899 to 1962. From the looks of it, the revolution is not over.

Actually, I personally think that Miss Levine's candidacy is in the best CRIMSON tradition. The only other stunt which comes to mind to equal it was the attempt two years ago of your last President to ride an elephant across California like Tarzan. H. Reed Ellis
There are specialists among them. Some, like Actor Cliff Robertson, are interested in refurbishing classic planes (he owns a Messerschmitt, is currently at work on a Spitfire). Others are hipped on "aerobatics," a term they prefer to "stunt flying," and are busy nostalgically building the nimble biplanes that only one commercial company makes any more. E.A.A. planes are "generally smaller, lighter and more sensitive than the factory-built jobs, and more responsive, which is part of the fun of flying," says St. Louis Chapter President Robert E. Gwinn, 41, an aeronautical engineer...
