...crowd and then clambered up the packed grandstand to embrace his father Pat Cash Sr. Remarked a Wimbledon official primly: "It was the first time anything like that has happened." Once dubbed the Australian McEnroe for his on-court temper tantrums, Cash appears to have mellowed since his girlfriend Norwegian Model Anne-Britt Kristiansen gave birth to their 14-month-old son Daniel. Cash, though, still gets faulted by feminists. Dismissing women's tennis as "junk," he told Woman's Own magazine, "If I played a practice game with ((Boris Becker)) when the women's final...
...later, give or take about six encores, it's all over. Scottish Singer Jean Redpath has sung in her lovely, clear voice, the Hawaiians have aloha'd, Guitarists Atkins and Leo Kottke have laid down some elegant tunes, Buster has woofed one last time before going on unemployment, the Norwegian bachelor farmers have made their final appearance at the Chatterbox Cafe, and Keillor has carried on shamelessly.

His proudest bureaucratic achievement is a $6,000, 500-ft. concrete sidewalk that runs alongside Main Street, which is dirt. "That boy is mine too," said the mayor, pointing to another son, David, a trencherman about the size of a post...
...informed Adolf Eichmann, the official in charge of Jewish extermination, that there were no objections on the part of the German foreign ministry to the deportation of thousands of French and stateless Jews to Aushwitz. He was also the man who rejected Sweden's offer to accept Norwegian Jews about to be sent to Nazi death camps, and he refused to intervene on behalf of Catholic priests who were sent to the camps.
