...Force Publique. But the paratroops soon got out of hand. Storming their way into Leopoldville after cap turing the airport, they beat up any stray Africans they encountered, disarmed and arrested Congolese troops. When Congo Foreign Minister Justin Bomboko pro posed a truce, with joint patrols from both sides to police Leopoldville, the paratroops indignantly refused to sit be side "those black apes" in military jeeps. They were trigger-happy and arrogant. TIME Correspondent Lee Griggs was shot at by a paratrooper, who then apologized because "in the dark I thought you were an African...
...going his way, Nikita Khrushchev has a habit of overreaching himself. Now he has obliged over Cuba.

As in all shows, art sometimes seems far removed from nature at the Old Westbury Gardens, but seldom...
...drunks to come out fighting and perhaps lose some money for him to pick up; he parched stolen corn, swam to the Ohio shore and pushed back watermelons, set trotlines for catfish and trapped muskrats for the local doctor, who was an abortionist and fur dealer on the side. For a while he had as partner a deaf ex-moonshiner who had done a stretch in the pen, and from him he got a recipe for making corn likker that is one of the highlights of the book...
