...stopped in mock horror. As cameras whirred, he grabbed a girder and screamed: "No! I don't wanna go! I won't go!" The TV men were amused, but not the NASA officials. Again, during Gus Grissom's suborbital flight. Cooper, who had been flying a chase jet, buzzed the Cape and momentarily disrupted communications. He was severely reprimanded, and it was that sort of stunt that a worried Mercury official had in mind when he said before last week's flight: "He's enough of a daredevil to pull some stunt up there...
...Chase Manhattan Bank Chairman George Champion, for example, claims that the Kennedy proposals "put too much emphasis on stimulating consumption," when, in fact, "consumers have increased their spending by no less than $70 billion in the past five years." Corporations need a bigger share of any tax cut, he contends, to spur investment.

But if the Celtics were aging, they were graceful about it. Bandy-legged Bob Cousy, 34, the matchless playmaker, whipped sidearm passes the length of the court to launch Boston's fast break. Towering (6 ft. 10 in.) Bill Russell, 29, swept in rebounds like an angry mother plucking her child from the arms of a too-attentive stranger. Sam Jones poured in points-29 the first night, 27 the next...

But in Washington last week 35 corporation heads-including Henry Ford II, U.S. Steel's Roger Blough, A.T. & T.'s Frederick Kappel and Chase Manhattan Bank President David Rocke feller-organized a "Business Committee for Tax Reduction in 1963." The committee's purpose: to stump the country on the President's behalf...
