...York's new master of games also showed up on Central Park's Mall to introduce Batman and Robin and dutifully wore his Bat tie. "It unfolds and becomes a cape," he told the awed gaggle of youngsters. He was also on hand for the Beatles at Shea Stadium, stopped off to buy a new Honda Hawkeye for faster mobility through traffic, and was ad-libbing at an outdoor park fashion show, backed by the blasting rock 'n' roll of a Yale combo known as the Five-Card Stud, when he got a call from...
...water tower and extorted a satisfactory twang and an angry red glow from the visitor. Some Italian farmers pelted a UFO near Milan in October 1954 with rotten oranges, scoring, they claimed, some hits. They did not hit any of the little men, who were about 4 ft. high, wore light-colored pants, helmets and other equipment, and were "scurrying" about. UFOs were bigger and "hideous" in the sighting that was vouchsafed to Farmer Alexander Hamilton, of LeRoy, Kans., in April 1897. The hideous humanoids stole his heifer, hauled it aboard their "airship," and, "jabbering together," sailed away...
...American Activities Committee-more than a quarter-century filled with controversy, color and some pretty interesting characters-Washington had never seen anything quite like last week's hearing. It opened with the noisy appearance in a House caucus room of a young man named Jerry Clyde Rubin, who wore a Revolutionary War uniform and clutched 300 copies of the Declaration of Independence while his woman lawyer screamed, "The police are trying to take away my client's documents!" It never recovered from that tone-setter. From then until adjournment at week's end, the hearing was marked...
...settlers' life was hard, isolated, but rewarding. In the remote areas, they often had to make the clothes they wore, the candles they burned and even the bullets they used to drive off marauding bands of Bushmen. They built their own sturdy homes, used the Bible -the only book they had-to teach their children how to read. When they saw their neighbors, it was usually when they rode to worship at the nearest church, often a two-day journey from their farm. There was no shortage of labor, however. Hottentots and imported East Indian slaves were easy...
...hide wraps were uncomfortable on horseback; so they invented trousers. Trousers were so closely associated with barbarians that when some Romans began sporting them an imperial edict was issued against their use. As late as 1814 the Duke of Wellington was refused admission to his club because he wore trousers. Cuffs on trousers first appeared in New York City near the end of the 19th century after an Englishman on his way to a fashionable wedding was caught in a downpour and turned up his trousers to keep them dry. Men at the wedding assumed they were the latest style...
