...turned the Celtics into champions is the lean, agile Negro at center: Bill Russell (6 ft. 10 in., 220 lbs.), the league's finest defensive player and its best rebounder until the advent of Philadelphia's Wilt Chamberlain (who is four inches taller). On occasion, Russell can even out-rebound Chamberlain, more than makes up for his relatively weak, left-handed shots from the pivot (18.1-point average). "Boston will gamble with its little men, knowing that Russell will get the rebound," says Syracuse Coach Paul Seymour. "He'll jump right out of the building...
...members of the imperial family not been glued to their radios, they might have been the last people in Tokyo to hear the news. When Crown Princess Michiko was delivered of her 5-lb. 9-oz. son last week, a chamberlain at the hospital solemnly telephoned the residence of the grand chamberlain. The grand chamberlain in turn telephoned the Emperor's personal chamberlain, who daintily brushstroked the news onto a scroll.

Would he allow his son to be taken from him at the age of three to be raised by chamberlains in a separate palace? Akihito had said no, and his princess had even declared that she wanted her son to attend a kindergarten with "ordinary children." It was enough to make a conscientious imperial chamberlain wince. Protested one last week: "It is untrue that we resist change. Why, this prince was bathed...
Violating Values. The popular idea that unions are gradually taking over management, says Neil Chamberlain, a director of the Ford Foundation, is nonsense. Unions have won some of management's power to legislate wages, hours and working conditions, but they have done all their fighting on ground chosen by management. U.S. unionism has none of the militancy of a "labor movement," usually fights for a few immediate benefits rather than basic, longterm social changes. "What idealist can be challenged now by the 'plight' of workers struggling to secure an increase in pay so that they may purchase...
