When eleven-year-old Roscoe McGeorge refused to stop playing with cards in the back row of a fourth-grade penmanship class in Cincinnati's Washington Elementary School. Teacher Gayle Graner decided to take appropriate action. She told him to turn over and gave him a paddling. Roscoe's outraged mother had her arrested for assault and battery, but 22-year-old Teacher Graner, though less than a year out of the University of Cincinnati's Teachers College, is not one to be easily intimidated. "Yes. I paddled him," she told reporters. "I have firm ideas...
...handsome, lithe giant, Bob Pettit soon found that the pros play their own rugged brand of ball, but he survived the rattling rites of passage. On offense, his soft, floating jump shot is a model for the league. On defense, he has tactics for every player, e.g., against Cincinnati he presses hook-shooting Clyde Lovellette, but he lies back for the dribbling of Maurice Stokes. In addition, Pettit's rubber-legged rebounding starts the Hawks hustling on their fast break...

Last August the dental society's twelve-man council voted to extract his membership card...
Last week the Cincinnati dentists held a closed membership meeting to hear Peter Garvin's appeal. By expelling him, argued Garvin, his fellow dentists denied him the constitutional right to "freedom of expression" (a right which is profitably exercised by such famed columnist-M.D.s as Chicago's Herman Bundesen and Walter Alvarez). Nor have dental society officials criticized the content of his columns, which frequently urge "consultation with your family dentist." By a margin of only five votes (79 to 74) Dentist Garvin's colleagues voted nonetheless to sustain his expulsion...
