...This autumn, Judge Gerald D. Culkin handed down this verdict on the two Puerto Rican youths, which, unfortunately echoed the attitudes of men like Msgr. McCafferey. Before pronouncing the sentence, he issued a brief statement the gist of which was that society "must pursue the basic primary reasons for youthful outbreaks of violence." He then sentenced the youths to death in the electric chair. After the decision had been issued, a Times reporter learned that there was no previous record of a 17-year-old boy being sent to the electric chair...
...Guillotine. The third game brought the teams to New York, where Yankee fans calmly accepted the Series as an annual rite of autumn, as expectable as Thanksgiving. Beginning where they had left off, the Yankees in the first inning had already scored two runs and loaded the bases when the unlikeliest slugger of them all stepped into the box, looking fully as dangerous as any promising Little Leaguer.

And at least 1,000 African students have already been installed in schools in Moscow, Kiev, Odessa and Leningrad under the crash program begun three years...
...clean Republican sweep of the Democratic South this autumn is as unlikely as polar bears on Peachtree Street. Nevertheless, the South is unusually restless politically. Nixon, in two trips to Dixie, has attracted more attention than Dwight Eisenhower did in the early stages of his campaigns. Poll after poll reports so many Southerners "undecided" that the Battle for the South could become the most fascinating and far-reaching of the year...
