...bearded, sandaled beat likes to be with his own kind, to riffle through his quarterlies, write craggy poetry, paint crusty pictures, and pursue his never-ending quest for the ultimate in sex and protest. When deterred from such pleasures by the goggle-eyed from Squaresville, the beatnik packs his pot (marijuana), shorts and bongo drums, grabs his black-hosed, pony-tailed beatchick and cuts out. Lately, beatniks in increasing numbers have been cutting out of the incipient squareness of San Francisco and swinging in the shabby little Los Angeles beach community of Venice. There last week the regular inhabitants were...
Like Saroyan's Armenians, Anderson's people are one of the few lingering groups of exotics still maintaining cultural autonomy before the melting pot gets them -the small-town Negroes of the South.

In the feast that followed, the four managed to devour all of the deceased save the head and one leg, which they put aside for the next meal. It proved a mistake. A young boy found the head, ran horrified to tell his parents, and the police were called. Uganda, whites and blacks alike, was shocked: the ceremonial eating of a bit of human flesh is still not uncommon in Uganda, but wholesale cannibalism as such is unheard...
...explain himself, Adenauer faced the party's 270-man parliamentary delegation and unconsciously revealed part of his hand by suddenly launching into a diatribe against Erhard. Said Adenauer: "Herr Erhard . . . does not have sufficient experience in foreign policy matters. If you give a man a few brushes, a pot of paint and an easel, this does not make him an artist...
