...Thank you for honoring us with a distinction usually reserved for the great. The outcry of a generation is finally being taken seriously. All of us are for action: we see things that are wrong and demand change.

...applicant has committed or is likely to commit "acts of moral turpitude." Even a criminal conviction is insufficient; examiners must weigh "the nature of the offense."

She agrees, her husband leaves, and at play's end the white-maned patriarch of the clan is sobbing at her feet, begging for a kiss...
Died. John Joseph Keane, 55, baseball manager, the cool, unassuming tactician, who in 1964, after three futile years as field boss of the St. Louis Cardinals, was about to be fired, thereupon performed a minor miracle by leading his Redbirds to a National League pennant and a World Series victory over the American League's New York Yankees, after which the losers gleefully hired him away at $45,000 per, a triumph of justice that swiftly turned to dust when the disintegrating Yanks finished sixth in 1965, plummeted to last at the start of 1966 and the New York...
