Fateful Friendship. But to Joe's profound dismay, his daydreams do not come true. No fur-lined apartments, no nymphomaniacal millionairesses. Pretty soon he runs out of money and sells himself to a homosexual schoolboy-who takes his pleasure but then cannot pay. Too gentle to take revenge, too stupid to see what is coming, Joe sinks into demoralized destitution. But in the depths he finds a friend, a bright-eyed young cripple named Ratso, and for the first time in his life he is happy. Not for long. The cripple dies of general debilitation, and as the book...
...tumult and the tremors, India continues to function with a stability rare in Asia. Part of the reason stems from India's diminutive Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri, whose modest manner is the very antithesis of the hubris of Nehru. Tiny and turkey-necked, shy as a schoolboy in his rumpled dhoti and brown loafers, Shastri both matches the diminished stature of India and reflects its inchoate strength.

By the end of his three month visit, he had become "an addict to America-worse than alcohol...
...Washington State's Gerry Lindgren, 19, who matched him stride for stride through a bristling 58 sec. final quarter-mile before Mills breasted the tape barely inches ahead. Timers called it a dead heat, and both will get the record, join other winners at Kiev. Among them: Kansas Schoolboy Jim Ryun, 18, whose 3 min. 55.3 sec. mile surprised observers-including New Zealand's great Peter Snell, 26, who had said earlier that he could not "see how a kid of 18 can break 3:56," saw how when his famed closing kick failed and he finished second...
...that's the trouble. Everything is just a little too hectic. It's more Jarry's responsibility than Zimet's. Jarry was a Frenchman who lived in a garret with two owls and a stone phallus around the turn of the century. He took a schoolboy satire of a fat stupid professor and turned it into Ubu Roi. It's a forerunner of nearly everything: epic theatre, theatre of the absurd, Bullwinkle and the Filthy Speech Movement. You can't cram that much into a play without its getting overstuffed...
