...Chrstian Science Monitor recently let the story out on the Dow Chemical Company: Dow is furtively building a plant in India to produce a high-protein peanut-base food to alleviate rampant malputrition in that country, a condition which led an Indian spokesman to say recently that India was producing millions of subhumans yearly. On this basis, I accuse Dow of being a tool of the War against Starvation, and I accuse the University of complicity in this relationship; and I applaud the sit-in as an effective means of thwarting Dow's recruitment for this War.

...attack started, nearly every American officer was either wounded or dead. Among the dead was the battalion commander, Lieut. Colonel Terry de la Mesa Allen Jr., 38, whose father had commanded the Big Red One in its World War II drive from Tunisia to Sicily.

It swoops in on an enlisted man's strange infatuation with Miss Taylor, swipes briefly at the mental illness of the superior officer's wife, and finally lands on the theme it ends with, the even stranger, growing infatuation of Miss Taylor's husband (Marlon...
...fast ball, Pitcher-Turned-Commentator Sandy Koufax told how and why he himself had deliberately thrown at batters, explaining that "it's dangerous but it's part of the game." In the last game, a split-screen showed Cardinal Lou Brock take a daring lead off first base, then dash for second-and a new series record for stolen bases. And when Julian Javier was called out on a close play at first, NBC's instant replay clearly showed that it is not only ballplayers who make errors...
