...four familiar obscenities in yellow, 2½-in. type. Last month, Avatar staged a mass sellin at Harvard Square. Police arrested 23 salesmen on the spot. Last week a Cambridge district court convicted 17 of selling obscene material and imposed fines ranging from $100 to $300. It was the biggest court defeat handed Avatar to date. But the editors have no intention of toning the paper down now that city authorities have helped it make such a name for itself...
...race day, 94,800 fans-the biggest sports crowd in Florida history-jammed into the Speedway, and what they saw left them limp. The yellow caution light went on for accidents eleven times. The lead changed hands no fewer than 22 times-until, just ten miles from the end, South Carolina's Cale Yarborough, 28, edged into the lead in his 1968 Mercury.

...Munich-based corporation, whose 1967 sales of $2 billion and profits of $40 million made it West Germany's biggest private company, the Argentine nuclear plant will be its fifth -and its first outside the country. It marks the latest foreign victory for an expansionist-minded organization with 95 subsidiaries that include a cable factory in India and a railway-switchgear plant in South Africa. When the company built a hydroelectric plant in Afghanistan, it not only trained mechanics in Germany to run the operation but also erected the electrical and telephone system powered by the plant...
