...obsessed person. I'm obsessed by the picture's content, whether this disease of ours can permeate the air, change people, make some imprint. It's something that you don't want to do every day because it is sick. It's like you're on a toboggan and you're going down a hill and you don't give a damn about anything as long as you can do this one thing. We've broken ourselves, broken our lives, gone into debt but that's the least of it. We break all relations, all ties with anyone else...
Emitting a couple of uninhibited shrieks, Mrs. Mark Phillips clung to the toboggan her husband was expertly maneuvering down the fast hill. Having arrived safely at the bottom, Princess Anne regained her composure as she and Mark mingled with the guests at a winter-games party thrown in their honor by Canadian Governor General Jules Leger at Ottawa's Governmenl House.

...50th-anniversary celebrations in Moscow, Castro's plane stopped for refueling in Newfoundland, so Fidel set out to see the sights of Gander. He tossed a few snowballs, helped a pair of pretty nurses dig their car out of a snowbank, finally decided to try a little tobogganing. Unfortunately the toboggan tipped, sending el máximo lider sprawling into the snow. Everyone guffawed. Even Fidel...
Yeah, I think that there are values that can come out of Africa, and very positive ones. I would on the other hand be reluctant to accept these as the over all cure; because I feel we've been on this toboggan and you have to get off where the damn thing stops. You know, if it's 50,000 miles from Africa then that's where you have to get off and do your thing. If you can reach back and bring some good from Africa to where this thing has stopped-beautiful...
