...discovered any traces of original buildings at the three sites already excavated. The only architectural hint has come from a carved stone box found in one of the tombs; it seems to be a model of a cube-shaped building with a large entrance in one wall and triangular-shaped windows in the other. But there is no doubt about the level of craftsmanship among the people of Xabis. They made vessels of clay, stone and copper, wove cloth and mats from palm leaves and fashioned other copper objects, including axes, nails and pins. Some of the work is highly...
Apart from Viet Nam, the conference was significant as the highest-level meeting among officials of China, Russia and the U.S. since President Nixon made his visits to both Peking and Moscow.

He is awarded a single game, a double game ("gammon") or a triple game ("backgammon"), depending upon...
...Crimson, on the basis of its performances to date, is rated the favorite in the 20th running of the triangular meet. The Tigers, however, are strong enough to challenge, and Harvard must avoid any sort of letdown in order to take its 13th win in the series and its tenth out of the last twelve. Yale will probably be an idle host...
