...town dancers was only $500 plus free room and board for three weeks of rehearsals and the show itself. It was enough to lure Anna Kuni and her twin sister Kana, who perform as the Cherry Blossoms, Redd Foxx's opening act in Las Vegas, ending up clad in top hats and tails, period. In the Coliseum they wore more. "We wanted to be part of the Olympics," said Anna, who with her sister came to this country from Tokyo five years ago. "We wanted to be part of that spirit...
...Adamello mountain range (which had been considerately cleared of other tourists). Sportily dressed in blue pants and windbreaker, sunglasses and red boots, John Paul made his first known ski outing since becoming Pope six years ago, though he skied regularly when he lived in Poland. A sweater-clad Pertini followed in a snowmobile, puffing on his pipe and crying, "Santitá [Holiness], you whirl about like a swallow."

Although books in the undergraduate libraries bear a warning that deliberate markings are grounds for disciplinary action, this provision seems to be enforced rarely if at all. Gumchewing, Walkman-clad culprits crowd the libraries, marking the books in neon pink, sky blue, or margarine yellow. Of course, the highlighter pen is not the only device used to destroy Harvard's books. Some annotaters opt for the more efficient method of making brackets in the margins--which at least annoys future readers a little less. Others add their own insights. "This is stupid," or "Imperialistic bull"--as if to clue...
