Scramble he did. In the third game he seized the initiative on the eleventh move by swinging his knight to the edge of the board, a daring and unorthodox move for a piece that fights best in the center. Spassky pondered for a full 30 minutes, then, just as Fischer hoped he would, countered with a faulty line of attack. Before the game was adjourned for the day, Fischer scribbled his 41st move on a piece of paper, sealed it in an envelope...

These formidable facts do not terrify either McGovern or the unorthodox, relatively inexperienced but toughly pragmatic men guiding his campaign. They claim that the conventional political wisdom about the self-interest of various voting blocs, whether labor, blacks, Jews, affluent suburbanites or white-collar professionals is no longer true, and that the blocs are merging into broader concerns that cut across the usual lines, and that regional affiliations are largely losing their meaning. There is a restless, undefinable yearning for change, they say, and it is producing what McGovern termed in his acceptance speech a political ferment comparable...

...Nude Look. "Bareness is the expression of our times," declares Monika Tilley, Austrian-born sportswear designer. Her effort to give "the wearer maximum exposure" is clearly successful in the bathing suit at the right. As with some bikinis, the top and bottom are sold separately.

...approach is unorthodox, but it works. The approach is interesting enough to keep the play going, without dragging even in the normally dreadful third act. The actors do interesting tricks with the phrasing, as when James Harris as Antony uses the line "Friends, Romans, Countrymen..." as a desperate attempt to get the attention of a hostile crowd busy snarling at Caesar's body. Harris's Antony transcends his bodystocking to establish a character, as does David Snodin's Cassius. Snodin's phrasing is highly eclectic, bringing out nuances from his speeches which are not normally developed, and nicely establishing Cassius...

...Hebrew, Lindsey kept encountering words and phrases without Hebrew equivalents. Luke, on the other hand, translated so easily into Hebrew that Lindsey decided he must have used an earlier-hence more reliable-Hebrew source than the others. Markus Barth, son of the late Karl Barth, advances an even more unorthodox theory in his classes at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary: that the Gospel of John came first. Barth sees John's Gospel as a kind of guide for a pilgrimage in Jesus' footsteps to Jerusalem, and insists that it must have been written before the Temple's destruction...
