Since the advent of petroleum and electricity as primary energy sources for many industries, King Coal has moved cautiously. The miners and their natural ombudsmen, their union leaders and politicians, were and are scared to speak out in favor of compulsory reforms that might force coal prices up and out of the market-and cost the men virtually the only secure employment in job-scarce Appalachia, where most of the mines are located...
Good Shot. The advent of balmier times was epitomized a fortnight ago, when Shriver was a guest at De Gaulle's semiannual pheasant shoot at the presidential chateau in Rambouillet, an hour from Paris. Shriver downed two birds in a row as the general watched closely from behind. Each time, De Gaulle exclaimed: "Good shot!"

Jose learned to play the concertina at six and the guitar at nine. The advent of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s inspired him to try singing, too. At 17, he began plying the coffee-house circuit from Greenwich Village to Chicago's Old Town, combining folk music with rock, standards and novelties...
