Instant Catnaps. Like the rest of Alcoa's recent top management, Harper has never worked for another company. Born in Louisville, Tenn., he found a $12-a-week summer job at the company's nearby plant in Alcoa, Tenn., while a high school student of 15, alternated three-month stints of work and study to graduate as an electrical engineer from the University of Tennessee.

Officials insist that the problem is an annual one, caused in part by the fact that potential contributors are still paying Christmas bills. A victim of growing pains as much as pinched purses, S.N.C.C. in the past year has doubled its paid staff (from...
...freshman Democratic Representative John A. Race, 50, made it picture-window clear that he has no conflict-of-interest problems. His statement of assets: 1961 Chevrolet, $1,000; home in Fond du Lac, $7,200 (minus a $6,000 mortgage); cash, $500. In fact, since he quit his $125-a-week machinist's job to campaign in July, he, his wife and daughter "have been eating bean soup and peanut-butter sandwiches"; and he borrowed $1,750 from his campaign fund, and $1,500 from the bank to tide him over until he could start collecting...
