...Pakistan, mobs cried "Death to Ayub!" in protest against their President's neglect of long-festering economic and social problems. Germany, Italy and Japan were struck by the plague...
...incidents of the massacre unfold with numbing predictability. Time and again Olsen describes how people escaped bullets by burrowing under the corpses of their families or playing dead. Once more he indirectly states one of the irreducible lessons of war: that the human body loses its integrity when struck by pieces of metal moving at high velocity...
Name That Tune. Nettled by similar unkindnesses perpetrated by the BBC, the Soviets last week struck back at their Western tormentors.

Otis Chandler's nonunion and increasingly automated Los Angeles Times, a bit beset by federal antitrust action, feels more comfortable with a rival around. For a time, it helped Hearst print his strike-bound paper. Mayor...
