Last week, in Boston's Jordan Hall, Robin and Mike wound up a brief series of East Coast appearances designed to introduce them to their growing audience in the U.S. Festooned with colorful rugs and cluttered with instruments, the stages on which they appeared had the aura of gypsy encampments. That aura was heightened by an occasional waft of incense and by the presence of two girls known as Licorice and Rose (real names: Caroline McKechnie and Rose Simpson), who live, travel and perform with the band. Resplendent in beads, braid, silks and velvet, Robin and Mike wandered about...
...stomach and once in the head, Joseph Barrios, a California cook, seemed to be making a remarkable recovery. The shooting occurred early in October, when robbers held up the restaurant where Barrios worked. Doctors at San Jose's O'Connor Hospital patched up his abdominal flesh wound, removed most of a shattered .22-cal. bullet from his brain, leaving him with only a slight headache and blurred vision. At that point, follow-up X rays sent Barrios into a spin for-dear life...
...numbers of participants proved another problem. Every morning at 9:30, a procession of 100 scholars and celebrities straggled out of the Princeton Inn, a long Georgian mansion sitting on the edge of a golf course, and wound its way through the Gothic arches of the Princeton yard to Whig Hall, the Princeton debating hall.

Kennedy's 43rd birthday, his brother Ted brought his own and the slain Senator's family to pray and leave flowers. Two days later, on the fifth anniversary of John F. Kennedy's death in Dallas, the family returned to visit the flame-lit grave a little farther up the hill. In New York, Mrs. Aristotle Onassis took John and Caroline Kennedy to a special Mass for their father...
...total of 91. Track and field was an utter debacle for the Russians, who managed to win only three events while the U.S. was winning 15. Every bit as embarrassing was the performance of the Soviet basketball team, which had been favored to capture the gold medal and wound up instead with the bronze, finishing behind the U.S. and Yugoslavia. The Russian players were "giants," reported Trud, the Soviet trade-union newspaper. "The coaches had everything." But the team played too many "passionless" games. "The players' sense of responsibility began to be blunted," and their "easy life" sapped their...
