...wish to call your attention to the fact that the original Great Wallendas are not retired as your Oct. 5 article suggests. Not only are the original Waliendas performing today (Karl and Herman), but they are still doing their seven-people, three-high pyramid. BILLY BARTON (Mr. Sensation) Greencastle...
...moon rose in its full phase last week, and political hunters by the score burst into feverish bush beating, suddenly aware that the season was all too short. The first crucial presidential primary-New Hampshire's on March 8-was barely 20 weeks away. The gavel would call the Democratic convention to order in Los Angeles in less than nine months, with the Republican convention in Chicago only two weeks behind. And soon after the hunter's moon of 1960 had waned to a sliver, the U.S. would elect a new President...
Driven to a nearby building on Vorovskovo Street, ex-Navy Lieut. Commander Langelle produced his diplomatic card, claimed his diplomatic immunity from arrest. He demanded the right to call his embassy. The five Russian agents laughed, told him that his diplomatic immunity had been revoked.

Dartmouth students always try to get at least a piece of the big drum, and when it returned from repairs in the Midwest in 1957 they especially wanted it. As the members of the Harvard Band faced the home stands and played "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," some Dartmouth fraternity pledges attacked the drum guards. The musicians turned around, were insulted to see the big drum being threatened, and ran to defend it. A half-time jam ensued with about 500 students throwing body-blocks and punches, but the musicians finally beat off their attackers with their instruments...
