Boyd finally was led to a point outside Washington (he will not say where). There he found some 1,000 pages of the Pentagon report. The Knight package consisted of an orderly presentation with occasional marginal notes like "Wow!" inked beside some Pentagon statements. On most pages, a slip of paper had been placed over the secrecy classification when the photocopy was made, blanking it out. But on a dozen pages Knight newsmen found the words TOP SECRET?SENSITIVE. At the Boston Globe, the pickup arrangements sounded so melodramatic that editors suspected a hoax. But they went along and received...
...found some pieces of old Hollywood films cut out by Battista's censors, and who wants to incorporate them into a new film he's making-he doesn't know quite how, his film will be a "collage" of social bits and pieces; and thus Alea manages to slip in a description of his own film.

...Duncan, 78, popularizer of Yo-Yos and parking meters; of a stroke; in Los Angeles. When he first saw Filipino immigrants playing with a crude toy in the late 1920s, Duncan was not impressed: "It looked like nothing, like a potato on a string." So he devised a slip string that let the wooden "potato" spin, registered the name Yo-Yo and embarked on a high-power promotion campaign. Youngsters looped the loop to the tune of up to $7,000,000 annually in sales for Duncan. Although he made another fortune by manufacturing parking meters, Duncan...
