...smashing, witness Emanuel Ungaro's idea of Andy Warhol: a floor-length cape punctured by hundreds of holes with plastic spheres swinging in the openings. Or from Lanvin, the dramatic Pier Paolo Pasolini creation: a black sweater that takes a breast-baring plunge to the waist, with bold-patterned Zouave pants. For the sensual part, Moreau had Henri Cartie-Bresson photograph five of her favorite men, then ran the pictures opposite blowups of the precise segments of a woman's body that most attracts each of them. There, in all its grace and graininess, is the small...
What followed was a bold and secret plan to arrest Beria within the very walls of the Kremlin. The most sensitive problem was finding a way of holding Beria once he was under arrest. Explains Khrushchev: "The Presidium bodyguard was obedient to him. His Chekists would be sitting in the next room, and Beria could easily order them to arrest us all.

...Dulles. After three years, Khrushchev had not yet gained complete supremacy over Malenkov. In a bold gamble, he delivered a sensational 20,000-word speech before the Party Congress denouncing Stalin and his methods in mordant detail.

The greatest of her stallions was Bold Ruler, which grossed $764,204, winning 23 out of 33 races, then became the sport's leading stud from 1963 to 1969, with progeny that won purses of more than $12 million...
Professor Hoffmann's plea for a "well-conceived new design" in undergraduate education at Harvard strikes me as very reasonable and bold- and impracticable. To expect the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to legislate a new and universally applied conception of undergraduate education is to expect a miraculous consensus to overcome the Faculty in 1970 when there is no precedent for it. In fact, the only precedents for a radical change in educational theory and practice that Harvard College has ever seen have come when strong-willed presidents sought to institute reforms. Within the last few decades, when the Faculty...
