...Germany's Walter Ulbricht is missing: he had to be left behind because his nation does not belong to the U.N. For the West, their arrival is a rare opportunity for firsthand inspection of the ruthless survival experts who rule 79,633 million enslaved Eastern Europeans. The roll call...

As a firm but fair taskmaster, Richards has earned the solid respect of the Orioles, veteran and rookie alike...
...description makes Mme. Vuillier blush like a Cub Scout den mother who has been praised for her chocolate-chip cookies. "Please don't call me a magician," she says. "My magic is science. My art is genealogy. A good pedigree reads to me as a Bach fugue sounds to a musician. It's heredity that's winning, not the horse. What difference does it make what the horse looks like, so long as he has the correct genealogy...
