...Ohio Valley on summer evenings. A person either sits in his living room and swelters from the heat or sits in his air-conditioned living room and sniffles from his luxury. In either case, he is not delighted to have a college-age kid, smiling sincerely but dripping with sweat, cluttering his front porch and ringing his doorbell...
Procaccino never tires of life-style comparisons. "Mr. Marchi," he says, "does not fit into this category of people that have to work with their hands, with the sweat of their brows and so forth." He tries to portray Lindsay as an effete jet-setter: "A clean neighborhood is more important to people than poetry reading." That, presumably, was a crack at Lindsay's narration of the text accompanying a performance of Aaron Copland's Lincoln Portrait. "I am not one of the select few," Procaccino insists. "I am not one of the Beautiful People...
...Marine Division will have been withdrawn, leaving the gap to be filled by ARVN's 1st Division. The U.S. Commander in Viet Nam, General Creighton Abrams, calls the 1st the equal of any American division in the country.

...some 600,000 Palestinian Arabs, does his job with a lean staff of no more than 300 Israelis.

Occasionally others raced by in Jeeps and weapons carriers, looking neither right nor left. In Jenin, messengers came and went from the military governor's office. Across the street a sweating workman was putting new glass...
Like other algae, Palmellococcus thrives on light, moisture, mineral salts and carbon dioxide. Yet when it can feed on such organic substances as sweat, pollen and bacteria-which were also brought into the grotto-it will multiply well even in dim light. If enough of these nutrients are present, it can survive without any light at all. In fact, it was this steady buildup of organic matter, Lefevre and Laporte say, that enabled Palmellococcus to proliferate even when the cave was shut down and left in total darkness...
