Ragtime & Skooby-Ooby-Doo. One of the evenings came alive to the sound of jazz, of a sort. Aaron Copland (63) performed his 37-year-old Piano Concerto; it showed, among other things, where Gershwin got some of his later inspiration. The music that earned Copland cries of "Ogre!" when he first played it with the Boston Symphony in 1927, seemed slightly comic today, a parÓdy of all the ragtime and razzmatazz that were its musical contemporaries...
Last October and November civil rights groups in Mississippi conducted one of their most ambitious efforts to date, when they ran Aaron Henry, president of the state NAACP organization, for governor.

With this has come a new pride in race. Explains Dr. John R. Larkins...
...Steelers again. Now, Tittle is no coward, but there are no 37-year-old fools in pro football, either. Back it went to Gifford, who was now over on the right sideline looking for someplace to hide. And he lobbed it in the general direction of Giant End Aaron Thomas-but only in the general direction. As confused as everybody else, the referee assessed the Giants 15 yds. on general principles. "Y. A. was laughing," said Gifford. "I should have tossed it right back-that would really have fractured...
