...with Hoffa (unless it should dredge up some new evidence). It held particular importance for the Brothers Kennedy-suntanned Committee Counsel Robert, whom Hoffa detests, and Massachusetts' Senator John, who had hoped that a fresh public examination of Hoffa's questionable dealings might help his labor bill along in the House-a matter of increasing urgency since Hoffa is now mulling over the idea of creating a nationwide "council" of transport workers with the help of Red-tinged Harry Bridges of the West Coast International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union...
...clock on Saturday nights. This ended neither the boozing nor the love-making on the dike. Last week Urk's irked elders cracked down. A new Urk law made it a crime to "trudge, slouch, lounge, saunter, flock together" or "to sit or lie" after dark along public roads. Maximum penalty: a fine of 300 guilders ($79) or two months in jail. Love-smitten Urkers hoped to get around the ban simply by taking to the woods on the mainland, a short bike ride away.

Soon, sightseeing buses will drive along the curve of Sunset Boulevard between Schwab's Drugstore and the gabled Marmont Chateau, with rubberneck guides remembering nasally: "Alla Nazimova lived here once. Paramount built her a mansion. The swimming pool was in the shape of the Black Sea to remind her of Yalta, where she was born...
Though big U.S. corporations sent their recruiting teams as usual to Harvard Business School this year, Enterpriser Wyle waved off the big firms' offers. Along with 130 other members of the graduating class, who were impatient for "earlier responsibilities'' and "more interested in starting opportunities than starting salaries," he decided early in the year to organize a class-run hunt for jobs in business-small business. Eager second-year students put up $15 apiece to help pay the expenses of six classmates, whom they dispatched during the Christmas holiday on prospecting tours of California, the Middle West...
