...offices, broadcasting stations and other communications outlets that permitted the installation. Today Muschel has more than 700 paying customers-among them General Foods Corp., Kaiser Industries Corp. and the American Heart Association Inc.-whose copy is moved daily to 17 nonpaying subscribers, e.g., the New York Times, five other big Manhattan dailies and the U.S. Information Service...
...Little Rock's. Under Georgia law, integration in a single school automatically shuts down the entire local system; nonfederal funds are cut off.

In one span of 77 sec., he scored 8 points (2 tap-ins, 4 foul shots), finished with 34 points in his team's 94-55 victory.
