...their wood-carving skills, and I was happy to find a few segments of intricately-sculpted decorative house trim, plus about 30 wooden distaffs (for spinning wool into yarn). Half the distaffs are covered with figures of birds, animals, and fanciful arabesques in bright tempera; the others are blond wood so delicately carved that they give the impression of lace. A great find was a group of clever toy whistles made by craftsmen in the Arkhangelsk and Tula regions from 1890 through 1910. The whistles are in the form of horses, dogs, bears, a hen and her chicks, and peasants...
Boudin is technically just one of Ellsberg's lawyers, but he has tended to dominate the defense. He does cut a picturesque figure, always in a rumpled suit, his gray-blond hair tousled and his courtroom table stacked with cluttered piles of books and memos. Occasionally he ambles around the court, one fist jammed in a coat pocket; at 60, he needs the periodic exercise because he wears a heart pacemaker...
Hair transplants have not quite restored the blond locks that gave Canadian Bobby Hull the nickname of "Golden Jet" shortly after he started playing hockey for the Chicago Black Hawks 15 years ago. But 33-year-old Bobby is more golden than he ever was-the new World Hockey Association has just signed him to abandon Chicago and become a player-coach for the Winnipeg Jets for a staggering $2.75 million over the next ten years, including an immediate cash bonus of $1 million. The W.H.A., which calls the deal the fattest contract ever signed by a professional athlete, hopes...
...toes aside some of my previous conclusions. I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed, while praying to the same God, with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. We were truly the same brothers, because their belief in one God had removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior, and the white from their attitude...
...Former Premier Pierre Mendès-France flashes on-screen recalling, in 1969, that during the 1939 "phony war," Paris ladies actually raised money for planting rose bushes along the Maginot Line-to reduce the ennui of the poilus stationed there. German newsreel footage switches from scenes of fresh, blond Wehrmacht soldiers swinging through France in 1940 to captured black French colonial troops, as a Nazi propaganda sound track mockingly quotes Neville Chamberlain: "We and our allies are the guardians of civilization against barbarism." What was your profoundest concern? a voice inquires of a now middle-aged French pharmacist...
