...Army Airborne's Brigadier David W. Gray. Holloway must also make the rounds of U.S. and Lebanese officials-the State Department's visiting Trouble-shooter Robert Murphy, U.S. Ambassador McClintock, Lebanon's President Chamoun, Army Chief Shehab-to keep in close touch and in close tune with the intricate local negotiations. Holloway also has to keep in tune with what passes in Lebanon for public opinion. "The people of Beirut," he says, "are largely in favor of our being here, and they are becoming more cordial daily. Surely some of them are not, and they could make...
Edgewater was only one of the marks. In Huntington, N.Y., the bigger (16 offices)-and presumably more experienced -Security National Bank had also been taken by Belle, to the tune of $475,000.

Marching two by two they go, first to one side, then to the other, and then back again. They pantomime the players of a big brass band -trombones sliding, cornets flashing, cymbals smashing, piccolos...
...before Buddhism was imported from China and Korea. Gallerygoers readily identify the unchanging gabled houses still found in country districts, and the traditional peasant women's dress. Art lovers see even more in Haniwa. Wrote one Japanese critic: "Haniwa's geometrizing of natural forms is exactly in tune with the dicta of cubism.
