Locking Up Danny. Early in the conference, Paris Student Leader Danny ("the Red") Cohn-Bendit, an unofficial observer, created pandemonium when he berated the representatives as an "assembly of old soldiers" who had no stomach for real revolution. Scuffles broke out on the floor, and Danny was hustled out and locked up in a backstage room for half an hour until a semblance of order could be restored. He returned just in time to hear Mexican Delegate Domingo Rojas blame Soviet influence and Fidel Castro for the sad lot of Cuban anarchists languishing in exile in Miami. "Viva Castro!" shouted...
...after the Kansas civil service board held hearings and ordered nearly all of the demonstrating aides reinstated, Bay had to admit that the aides had a case. "If this were my own private business," he said, "I'd go broke in a week. This just isn't any way to run a railroad. We have moved the aide's responsibilities forward without giving him comparable recognition." The main problem, as Bay saw it, was the huge staff turnover. Except for physicians, one-third of Topeka State's employees have been there for less than a year...
Along with those old pros, the Year of the Pitcher has spawned a flock of superlative youngsters. Graduates of the Little League, the Pony League, the Babe Ruth League, the American Legion League, they were poised and polished pitchers by the time they broke into the majors.

That same year Mclntire founded a splinter congregation, the Bible Presbyterian Church, headquartered in Collingswood, N.J. In 1948 he organized the I.C.C.C. as a counterthrust to the newly founded World Council, which he branded "apostate" and an "ecumenical monster...
...last year, burglars broke into more than 1,600,000 houses and apartments and made off with $350 million worth of furs, jewels, silver and other valuables. According to Robert Earl Barnes, 40% of those burglaries occurred simply because householders were careless. Barnes, 35, should know. Since stealing a bike at the age of eleven, he has, by his own reckoning, robbed 3,000 homes; the police in Washington, D.C., credit him with more than 300 burglaries totaling $2,000,000 in that city alone. Completing the second year of a 15-year Maryland prison term for housebreaking, Barnes apparently...
