...strain. "I'm just not getting any housework done," Mrs. Kopechne complained. In a way, though, the press does help. "You people have kept us on our toes," she said. "Every once in a while, we get angry and we get mad, and this mad anger we wake up with sustains us through the day. We've reached a breaking point many times, but I'm controlling myself for my husband and he's controlling himself for me. It's holding us together." The worst time for them is at night, after their neighbors...
...hope my implication is clear. The A's go to people who wake us up, who talk to us, who are sparkling an different and bright. (The B's go to Radcliffe girls who memorize the text and quote it verbatim, in perfectly looped letters with circles over the i's.) Not, I remain you, necessarily to people who have locked themselves in Lamont for a week and seminared and outlined and typed their notes and argued out all of Leibniz's fallacies with their mothers.

Since January, though, their bookings have picked up handsomely. They have performed at the Newport Folk Festival and the Fillmore West, and will tour Europe next month...
...Greeks were also helped by the U.S. Government, which, aiming to revive Greece's merchant marine after World War II, sold them 100 Liberty ships on easy credit terms. Many of the ships were delivered just before the Korean War sent freight rates soaring. Later, in the wake of the 1956 Suez crisis, the Greeks were among the first to order supertankers, which cut costs on the long trip around the Cape. The investment has paid handsomely, and the shipowners have also benefited from the general expansion in world trade...
