...Colorado, where flash floods can transform even docile streams into treacherous torrents, students in particular have taken to inner-tubing with a fervor that has alarmed the local authorities. A month ago, a 16-year-old boy was tumbled out of his tube by a particularly boisterous cataract, and sometime later was found dead about ten miles downstream. Said a sheriff's deputy: "The body was horribly mutilated-as if it had been run through a meat grinder...
...Flash photos have long been a matter of luck and frustration for the amateur photographer. Either he totes around cumbersome, electronically-charged strobe lights that always seem to go on the blink at the wrong moment or stuffs his pockets full of flashbulbs that have to be coaxed into the camera's flash gun before every photograph. Now Sylvania and Kodak have developed a neat solution-the Sylvania flashcube, which is no larger than an ice cube and contains four miniature flash bulbs, each with its own built-in reflector. Packaged in threes for $1.95, the plastic-coated cube...
Spahn's ambition backfired with No. 360. His fastball lost its flash, his sliders hung like floaters. Just about everyone, including opposing pitchers, tore him apart.

...really about the younger generation and growing up and accepting responsibility. Tom and Teena, we find, live unmarriedly in midtown Manhattan in a messy apartment displaying anti-bourgeois scorn for neatly preserved possessions (their sofa is an automobile seat) and a flair for camp (wall cartoons of a trotting Flash Gordon and of Batman holding a tiger and wheezing "Whew!"). They talk like suburban eighth graders about Camus and psychoanalysis and how their generation doesn't know itself but can't accept the values of the past and how free of prejudice they are (their best friends are an unmarried...
...told you over and over again that Goldwater had picked up 25 delegates in North Carolina, that Montana had given him 14 more and Louisiana 19? You won't recognize them when you read White's account of how Luke Williams, the man who invented the little signs that flash the time and the temperature, organized Goldwater's campaign in Washington. Remember reading thousands of little charts on the organization of the American economy in Ec 101? Throw them out; read White's four-page description of the operation of the "Eastern Establishment" and watch how a thinking reporter makes...
