Blaine suceeds Dr. Gaylord P. Coon, who becomes Senior Psychiatrist. The author of "Patience and Fortitude: the Parents' Guide to Adolescence" and coeditor of "Emotional Problems of Students," Blaine has been a member of the University Health Services' staff since...
...some streets, men who cannot find jobs sit on stoops playing pinochle and coon can and Georgia skin, or drinking "Dirty Bird" wine at 60? a pint from bottles hidden in brown paper bags. Buzzing around them are children who frolic unsupervised far into the night, wearing latchkeys on strings around their necks because there is nobody at home to care for them. Half of Harlem's children under 18 live with only one parent or none, and it is small wonder that the juvenile delinquency rate is more than double New York's or that the venereal...
Those first satellites, which orbit high above the normal Van Allen radiation belt, says Dr. James J. Coon of the AEC's Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, have detected peculiar cone-shaped clouds of negatively charged particles, presumably electrons, that trail the earth to an unknown distance, circling at the same speed with which the earth turns, so that they always remain on the side away from the sun. No one knows where they come from or why they follow the earth. Instruments on the newer satellites are designed to find out more about them...

In one unconvincing scene, a muddled plea for brotherhood, G.I.s gape idly while two Negroes in uniform are beaten up by drawling American soldiers enjoying a "coon hunt."

But when Foreman's lads grow misty-eyed over a music box waltz, they prove they are vandals with heart...

At his next campaign appearance he clapped a coonskin cap on his head, pointed to the tail and said, "A coon may have rings around his tail, but this coon will never have a ring through his nose." He beat the Crump machine, and more important than the ridiculous cap was Kefauver's decision to shake at least 500 hands...
