...first season on the pro circuit, he finished 103rd in the money rankings; this year, in each of his two qualifying rounds for the Open, he survived the cut by a single stroke. No matter. In a season when the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Billy Casper were bested by such unknowns as Ken Still, Jim Colbert, Tom Shaw and Larry Hinson, Moody figured to have as good a chance as anyone in the wide Open. By copping the $30,000 first prize, he became the ninth player this season to win his first Professional Golfers...
...three groups of albino rats at a Texas Tech University laboratory were given some musical entertainment. One group of newborn rat pups was exposed to selections from Mozart-The Magic Flute, Symphonies 40 and 41, the Violin Concerto No. 5. A second group audited an equivalent daily dose of Arnold Schoenberg-Pierrot Lunaire, Verkldrte Nacht and Kol Nidre, among other compositions. The third set of rats, appointed as a control, heard nothing but the whirring of a ventilation...
...Fortas' concern for what, by his standards, was a relatively small sum of money. Until he went on the bench, he grossed well over $100,000 a year; some estimates go as high as $250,000. His wife, a noted tax lawyer in his old firm of Arnold and Porter, still makes more than $100,000.

As the lunar landing approaches, the debate over manned v. unmanned space shots has intensified. Historian Arnold Toynbee calls Apollo "moonmanship follies." John Kennedy's science adviser, Jerome Wiesner, warns that "it would be a mistake to commit $100 billion to a manned Mars landing when we have problems getting from Boston to New York City." Says Physicist Ralph Lapp: "Given a choice between $500 million for basic research and the same amount...
...autumnal memoir by the great chronicler of flowering and unflowering cultures would seem to merit some sort of special accolade for the author-perhaps rifled from the language of one of the cultures he described in his greatest days. The Chinese term for sage (chih-jen) might do. Arnold Toynbee, at 80, with some 70 volumes behind him, is certainly a man "in whom moral virtue and learned accomplishments reach their highest points." Experiences, in some sense, does indeed suggest a chih-jen at work-reflective, confident, comforting, sometimes imperative...
