...clock every Tuesday morning in Cleveland, where her husband Robert is an assistant professor of American history at Cleveland State, and flying 405 miles eastward to New York City, where she herself teaches English 94001X (Medieval Literature) at Columbia. From Tuesday to Thursday, she occupies a two-room apartment on Manhattan's West Side and communicates with her husband only by telephone ($100 a month). On Thursdays she wings back to Cleveland. Her husband picks her up at the airport and drives her to their suburban home in Cleveland Heights, to their 18-year-old adopted son and their...
...seem absurd to foreigners, but Gaddafi justifies them as a return to Islamic principles of old. "When we do these things," he says, "we purge ourselves of impurity that is a product of imperialism and return to the true values of Islam." Gaddafi still lives in a barren two-room apartment at the Aziziya army barracks with his second wife Safiya, a former nurse whom he met two years ago while he was recovering from an automobile accident.

Then, standing on a box inside the two-room trailer, Gold stripped away a section of ceiling insulation and tenderly removed a tiny microphone and a transmitter slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes. The bugging device, Gold explained, had been eavesdropping...
...PEASANT. A worker at the Ma Chang Commune in Honan will rise at dawn, come rain or shine. Before a breakfast of corn dumpling soup and tea, he will spend two hours plowing the stony earth while his wife cleans their two-room hut, then joins him in the fields. A member of a 300-man production team-one of six on the commune-he will then have to face three hours in the field before a brief lunch of millet, sorghum and tea. Then it is back to the fields until sundown. Before supper-occasionally it may include meat...
