Always a city of soldiers, Saigon was as usual crowded with men in uniform, though they were now the rumpled greens, devoid of all insignia, worn by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops. The soldiers, scrupulously polite and well-behaved, were mostly simple country boys obviously astounded by the sights of sophisticated Saigon. They posed for photos in front of prominent buildings and statues and, until the authorities banned bargaining, haggled with shopkeepers over the prices of Japanese transistor radios and watches...
Last fall his unorthodox position became well-known when he and two other professors. Stephen J. Gould and S. Allen Counter Jr., taught Nat Sci 36, "Biological Determinism." The course was modeled as closely as possible on the uniform-grade system that Lewontin has used in his other course.

Investors will be able to shop among competing brokers for the lowest commissions and the best services. Wall Streeters, who have done battle with...
...Hill there is more talk, less feeling. The talk is almost exotic--about fat Tijuana whores and Chinese baskets and a house in Brighton where you wash off with PhisoHex to stave off V.D. The sex that actually happens (we hear about it through more talk) is uniform, innocuous. No one is tender, no one is embarrassed to talk about how wet somebody's twat is or where are we going to fuck. As a monotone of one lifeless mood, it all rings true. But, one assumes, congressional aides have occasional feelings never seen in Higgins's book...
