...HUGE mirror covered one wall of the room. A few chairs were scattered around. Two tables were cluttered with empty wine bottles plastic fruit, masks, and a rubber chicken. Several large black rubber mats lay on the floor -- where the 12 bodies were stretched...
...visitors often found the sights and sounds of Viet Nam more moving than words. On their field trip, they clambered into cockpits of Air Force Phantom fighter-bombers at Cam Ranh Bay, 200 miles northeast of Saigon, and drank rice wine through bamboo reeds with Montagnard tribesmen in the Central Highlands. In Pleiku, they visited a hospital filled with Vietnamese civilians who had been injured by Viet Cong rockets. Circling in helicopters, they watched an allied air strike against the enemy...
...days last week, it seemed as if the episode could be avoided entirely. Bearing an important message, Ambassador Tsarapkin helicoptered 170 miles from Bonn to Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger's weekend home in Stuttgart. Over glasses of light Swabian wine, the two men chatted amiably as the Soviet diplomat explained a way out for both sides. If the West Germans would withdraw the Federal Assembly from West Berlin, the East Germans would allow West Berliners to pass through the Wall during the Easter holidays to visit relatives in East Berlin, the first such passage permitted in three years...
...extinction. From a Depression-era high of more than 1,000,-000, the national census of rootless men (and women) has dropped to a scant 100,000, most of them over 50. On the Bowery, a squalid mile-long stretch on Manhattan's Lower East Side bordered by wine dispensaries, flop houses and rescue missions, annual head counts of the residents have disclosed a steady attrition. Between 1949 and 1967, the population of the Bowery fell from 13,675 to 4,851. Every year the population declines another 5%-a rate that would reduce it to virtually nothing...
Kerr's school is less Cordon Bleu than Folies-Bergere. On Julia Child's low-budget public TV series, the wine was faked with a mixture of water and Gravy Master. Graham guzzles the real stuff from a goblet throughout the program (in seeming violation of Article 3, Section 17 of the Broadcasters' Code). His other constant prop is an arch smirk. He prances onto the kitchen set the way Sugar Ray Robinson used to approach the ring, then pirouettes so that the tittering ladies in the studio audience can admire his costume du jour...
