...trip will cap two years of extensive planning and fund-raising by the Glee Club and Choral Society. It is being financed for the most part by concert revenue, donations from chorus alumni and contributions from parents of the chorus members. It is the second such major tour following a Glee Club trip through eight countries in the Far East during the summer...
...needle-nosed F-104G Super Starfighter boomed over the measured ten-mile course at 37,000 ft. above California's Edwards Air Force Base. Officials checked its speed with radar, and when blonde Aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran, 57, landed, she had another feather to put in her pretty cap. This time the cosmetics executive (chairman of Jacqueline Cochran, Inc.) had set the women's speed record of 1,429.2 m.p.h. at more than twice the speed of sound, easily shattering eardrums and her own 1963 record of 1,273.1 m.p.h...

To cap it all, 300,000 people a year now attend the YMHA's plays, concerts and poetry readings. It is the country's biggest Jewish center, perhaps the world's. For New Yorkers of every faith, it is a center of opportunity that hopefully will endure as long...
...intense was Democratic feeling against the bill that the assembly nearly broke into a riot. Characteristically, Scranton said he was interested only in what the bill "is going to do for Pennsylvania." But no one could deny that the victory would add another feather to his national cap. Scranton, who once showed even less interest in the vice-presidential nomination than in the No. 1 job, told newsmen he would accept a vice-presidential draft. Of course, he added, he does not think a vice-presidential nominee is drafted, but he might consider the job just the same...
