Discovering the best is the job of Bobby Kennedy and his deputy, Colorado's ex-All America Halfback Byron ("Whizzer") White. From Senators, Congressmen, judges, lawyers and party wheel horses, the Justice Department has so far received more than 1,300 nominations for the vacant judgeships. Some of the names were easily scratched off the list: a handful of Democratic bigwigs-including California's Governor Pat Brown-foolishly suggested their brothers and cousins.

The commission itself later overruled its referee, only to be reversed, fortnight ago, by Denver District Court Judge Donald D. Bowman, who reinstated the award. Denver University, found the judge, paid Dean Johnston's fraternity dues...
...form of frustration, no kind of rage, can compare to the feelings of a Manhattanite stuck in traffic. He taps his feet, pounds his fist against the windowpane, vows to move to Colorado, and wishes he could jump out of his conveyance with a ray gun, cutting a deadly path through the surrounding metal wilderness of trucks, buses and cars. Ray guns, so far, are out; but there is an escape machine that a small, hardy band of New Yorkers are using to beat the traffic nightmare: the bicycle...
