...through snow or mud with two of her pupils, Homer and Percy McClarty. The three clung together for mutual comfort: she feared the farmyard geese that "hissed and nipped at my legs above my buttoned boots"; they feared the somber Blackfeet Indians, who fished in the Flathead River. The trio hurried along, since before every class Miss Blachly had to put all the lessons on the blackboard in her neat, round Palmer script for the students to copy-no one had a textbook...
Blues, folk, country and western, ragas, psychedelic light and sound effects, swatches of Mahler, jazzlike improvisations-all are spaded into the mulch by such vital and imaginative groups as the Doors, the Grateful Dead, the Jefferson Airplane, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, the Byrds and the new British trio, the Cream.

Most of the contestants in last week's U.S. National Championships were equipped with standard rackets made of laminated wood.

The language of the heart is used to mask the power politics of the emotions, and love becomes war. The terms: unconditional surrender...
Henry's trio aims to get out of the barely black and into the wider blue. The merged lines promise to pare expenses by cutting out competing ticket offices in some 25 cities and by ending route duplications. By building up their fleets, which now include Fairchild F-27 turboprops and Douglas DC-9 short-haul jets, they hope for rich runs to Hawaii and to Mexican resorts...
