...thing," i.e., overturning police motorcycles, setting fires on the sidewalks, rocking a van containing policemen in an attempt to overturn it, foisting signs in our faces reading "F- the draft," waving the Cong flag as they chanted "Ho-Ho-Ho Chi Minh." Spare me the bleeding heart's account of how they were brutalized. They were a danger to every one of us in Chicago and, unless stopped as they were here, constitute an even greater danger to our nation tomorrow...
Railroad Presidents. The conditions of imprisonment vary just as widely. The Government tries to put each resister into the federal prison in his area, and also takes into account his age and education when assigning him. College Dropout Sullivan notes that at Danbury, which is known as the country club of federal prisons, he had the company of "a couple of lawyers, at least one doctor and three railroad presidents." In Allenwood, Pa., resisters make up almost half the prison population of 300. But elsewhere they are a minority among bootleggers, forgers and robbers. A few have even been tossed...
...agency was already on top of its field 13 years ago when Strouse moved from the Ford account-still J. Walter's biggest-into top management. Strouse, who was always more of an administrative man than a creative whiz, streamlined the agency and made it more profitable.

Sweigert, claimed that if Mrs. Hecht's portfolio had been left untouched from 1957 to 1964, its value would have increased from $533,161 to $1,026,775. Instead, her account plunged to $251,308. The judge found that Mrs. Hecht's account had been "grossly and unfairly churned" by more than 10,000 transactions in an effort to generate commissions. Judge Sweigert therefore ordered that the firm pay Mrs. Hecht $504,391 in damages. Harris, Upham is appealing that decision...
...earned his explorer's badge in trackless writing may have some initial trouble with such prose. Giuseppe Berto, whose writing career began in 1948 with an excellent war novel, The Sky Is Red, unveiled his new nonstop style in Incubus (TIME, Feb. 4, 1966), a remorseless account of a screenwriter's experience with psychoanalysis. Paradoxically, the method turns out to be better suited to a much more commonplace story, where radical style refreshes a traditional subject...
