First, with a yelp and a soaring leap, came the Yugoslav National Folk Ballet. Then came the Poles and the Georgians and the Ukrainians and the Rumanians and the Bulgarians- all with a yelp and a soaring leap. In the past ten years, the U.S. has been yelped and leaped at by more than a dozen different folk-dancing troupes from Eastern Europe, and with each successive wave it becomes increasingly difficult to separate last week's folk from this week's folk. Without fail, fear or falter, they follow in one another's folksteps...
Austrians last week were wondering whether their lock would hold even long enough for a yelp for help. For nearly a month, the nation's two leading par ties had been locked in a noisy wrangle over defense spending, and in the midst of it, conservative Defense Minister Georg Prader was hard put to explain how he blew this year's entire arms budget on 36 Swiss Oerlikon antiair craft guns. That brought the self-righteous charge from a Socialist Party news paper that the price of one Oerlikon would pay for 125 new workers' apartments. More...
...lovers howled in disagreement, flooded the White House with angry telegrams, letters and phone calls. In New York, an official of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said knowledgeably, "If somebody picked you up by the ears, you'd yelp too." In London, the chairman of the League Against Cruel Sports snapped, "This is a most extraordinary way to treat a dog." In Charleston, W.

...Even a Yelp. Last July, when X rays disclosed that she was carrying a fivesome, Venezuela's Inés Maria Cuervo, 34, fainted dead away. Once revived, the mother-to-be, the common-law wife of an oilfield worker, was tucked into bed at Maracaibo's University Hospital, put on a strict diet, and watched around the clock by doctors and nurses. During the delivery, she was conscious and calm. "At least let out a yelp," pleaded one nurse, "so we know you are having a baby." Her tiny boys arrived over a period of 50 minutes...
...songs by Granados, de Falla, Montsalvatge, and the Brazilian Villa-Lobos. There were cradle-songs and tormented Flamenco--like songs, and two or three varities of that hardy perennial of the concert platform, the "delightful" song about a timid or a talkative lover, which ends with an exasperated little yelp from the singer (and polite titters from the old ladies in the audience). On a balmy night in Barcelona, a few of these songs might have been pleasant; it was, in fact, a chilly evening in Cambridge, and fifteen of them (plus two encores) proved a bit wearing...
