...well enough alone, and finally Marty bursts out bitterly, "Whatever it is that women like, I ain't got it . . . I'm a fat little man, a fat ugly man . . . All that ever happened to me . . . was girls made me feel like I was a bug . . . I got feelings . . . I had enough pain. No thanks, Ma . . . You know what I'm gonna get for my trouble? . . . A big night of heartache...
Millimeter by millimeter, like a small bug on a windowpane, the Finnish tanker Aruba crawled along the charted sea lanes. The world paid little attention as she made her way down from the Rumanian port of Constanta to the Mediterranean and eastward toward Port Said. Then, three weeks ago, like hundreds of other vessels that pass through the Suez Canal, the 10,000-ton Aruba was forced to declare her cargo and destination. It proved to be 13,000 tons of high-grade kerosene consigned to Red China, enough jet plane fuel to carry Communist airmen on an estimated...
...commanded the Second Ukrainian Army, which breached the German defenses and liberated Belgorod and Kharkov. In 1944 he won his greatest victory at Korsun-Shevchenkovsky, where in mud and blizzard his Soviet force encircled and destroyed ten German divisions.

McCullough, a wry, wiry man with a grey cowlick and steel-rimmed glasses, is boss of a 164,000-acre tract of the Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington State. He conducts the Government's business...
...Bug Bites Deep. Voluble as can be when arguing whether a bird is a Bohemian or a cedar waxwing, birders become strangely inarticulate when pressed to explain their sport. They have no simple motto like the Everest climbers' "Because it is there." They usually mumble something about liking birds since childhood, or about the thrill of hunting without its element of cruelty, or just the great outdoors. Whatever its origin, the birding bug bites deep. Wives picture themselves dolefully as "birding widows." A golfer trying to wave his ball into the cup for an eagle at the 18th hole...
