FROM his first election speech last month, when he stood atop an aqua and yellow campaign bus, Japanese Premier Eisaku Sato staked his political life on support of Japan's security pact with the U.S. It was no small gamble. Only last January, riot police had to use fire hoses to control more than 800 militantly antiwar students who tried to keep the USS Enterprise crew from taking shore leave in Sasebo. In April, Tokyo housewives marched in protest against the opening of a hospital for U.S. troops wounded in Viet Nam, and a month later a wave...
...lean against each other, and whiffed the foul breath of penury. Nine businessmen rode with cops as they checked vagrants in "the Deuce," a neighborhood of filthy flophouses. Some men mingled with drunks along the downtown Tenderloin skid row. Several housewives spent a day just sitting in the Greyhound bus terminal, where they saw weary, worried mothers board buses with broods of children to start life somewhere else. Other poverty students vicariously shared the pain of knife, gun and mugging victims in the emergency room of the County Hospital, or walked the brawling bar beat with patrolmen. Shaken by their...
...heartily applaud these new and daring programs. The St. Louis public schools have used the City Art Museum extensively as a cultural resource. Ten years ago, only 2,000 children attended classes there; 39,000 attended in the '67-'68 school year and paid their own bus fares. The St. Louis City Art Museum is located in Forest Park in the center of the city.

...youngest of three racing brothers (a fourth drives a bus), Dancer spotted Nevele Pride as a yearling on a Pennsylvania farm in 1966 and purchased the colt for $20,000. Last year the trotter won a record $222,923 and turned in the fastest mile clocking (1 min. 58 2/5 sec.) ever achieved by a juvenile. Dancer is carefully pointing toward the Hambletonian, the U.S.'s most prestigious trotting race, on Aug. 25; hence he has raced the horse only lightly. Even at that, the colt won all four of his starts and $106,886-$83,373 at Roosevelt...
...Sidney Poitier when he received his Oscar for Lilies of the Field in 1963. But his was only the last lap. The first million miles were traveled by Eddie Anderson, Stepin' Fetchit, Willie Best, Butterfly McQueen and other gifted actors whose long ride in the back of the bus can be seen again every week on television...
