...palace went into the royal soup. The Duke and Duchess of Kent, and Governor John A. Burns of Hawaii representing President Johnson, were among 3,000 guests who knelt on mats in the malae (palace park), ate (with fingers) such South Sea exotica as lupuhi -chicken and duck broiled in coconut sauce-and joined Tongans in consuming vats of a mildly narcotic, tongue-numbing drink made from pepper roots...
...much for science. Texas Southern's Jim Hines, 20, is not the least bit pigeon-toed-in fact, he's just a little duck-footed, and it may be a good thing. If he were 100% efficient, there is no telling how fast he could run. Three times last winter Hines tied the indoor world record of 5.9 sec. in the 60-yd. dash.

U.S. history, for instance, is told in terms of Sioux war bonnets, branding irons, and presidential campaign posters picked from the collection of John DeWitt, chairman of the Travelers Insurance Companies. Art ranges from antique duck decoys to banners of pop art; rock 'n' roll gets the silent treatment with a collection of famous guitars, including the favorite: Presley's own. Male individuality is illustrated with a collection of 300 hats; the universality of childhood with a jungle-gymful of Raggedy Ann dolls...
...easy to forget that the friendly shoves are shoves. Then maybe a drunk comes in. Vic says to the stranger, "Go now. That kid in blue is drunk. He's crazy when he's drunk." The drunk manages to get in one good punch before the stranger can duck or the rest of the kids stop him. Who hasn't been punched by a drunk...
