Gershwin! Dig all the rock 'n' roll beat groups! Pick up on all the bestselling novels! Because I am one of them millions of "can-not-be/shall-not-be/integrated or (Uncle Ralph Bunche) assimilated," I figure it's best to talk, walk, sing and swing like a true nigger! It is like my music, jazz. It's personal, and the sounds often change from nigger to Negro and from colored to Afro. That's our sound. It's our contribution to the world, it's pure Afro-American. It's beautiful. 'Taint...
...financing the development of expensive home-grown weapons, Britain will buy much of its gear for the 1970s from the U.S., a decision that strikes a severe blow at Britain's lowflying aircraft industry (see WORLD BUSINESS). The R.A.F.'s new bomber force will be 50 swing-wing General Dynamics F-111A's, which Britain is buying from the U.S. for $297.5 million. The navy will be outfitted with four U.S.-type Polaris submarines, and the army will be regrouped in a few strategically located bases (Singapore, Bahrein, Gibraltar) from which units can be quickly airlifted...
When Johnson failed to reappoint conservative C. Canby Balderston to the seven-man board, there was some thought that he might recast the Federal Reserve to swing it toward looser credit.

Brimmer, 39, a Harvard Ph.D., is a onetime economist at the New York Federal Reserve Bank and is known as cautious and moderate in money matters...

The 50 swing-wing F-111A fighter-bombers that Britain will buy from General Dynamics at $5,950,000 each are at least $1,000,000 cheaper than anything Britain's much smaller industry could build...
...Soup. Keitel's stiff, drill-field prose comes alive only during his account of the War's last month. As the Russians swarmed across the Oder to ward Berlin and Hitler took sullenly to his bunker, Keitel and his faithful driver took off on a quixotic swing to rally the shattered Wehrmacht forces around the capital. He relished the experience: hasty lunches of pea soup in a forest command post, ducking into ditches to avoid strafing Allied fighters, brave speeches to the scared kids and old men in ill-fitting Volkssturm helmets who had been left to defend...
