...mean tail wind whipped up the Charles Basin, and only after a deadly crab stopped the Husky shell near the end of the race, did the Crimson pull from behind...
...rhododendrons. High performance and prices typified the new models. Italy's Fiat presented its $5,859 Dino, boasting a Ferrari-designed engine, while O.S.I, of Turin produced the silvery Scarabeo. From France came the Matra 530, a Le Mans-styled model with a sloping tail, a Ford Taunus engine and a built-in roll-bar. Japan's Toyota came West with a 2,000 GT roadster labeled "James Bond."

The feat only emboldened buy-British forces, who got added ammunition from the crash of a BOAC-owned 707 on Mount Fuji last March; moreover, that disaster led to the discovery of hairline tail fissures that briefly grounded a number of the company's 21 other 707s.

Meteorologists and biologists were then able to predict the location of the flock for the following few hours and warn pilots of its presence. "The predictions are based on weather and migration patterns," explains Engineer...
...movie star. She seems to be bigger than Vanessa and to have more arms and legs?quite nice legs that somehow look sexy even though they are semaphorically knock-kneed. Lynn, continues Ustinov, "gives the impression of knocking things down by mistake because she doesn't know her tail is wagging." She has a kewpie-doll face countersunk in a strawberry-blonde mane; she wears what looks like fluorescent face powder; and she sometimes paints her lower lashes, Twiggy-style, so far below the natural eyeline that people wonder if they need a hairnet. But the eyes look out between...
