...radar-directed approach was perfect until he was only a few hundred yards short of the runway. Then the control-tower radar scanner saw in horror that the huge DC-8 suddenly had sunk twenty feet below the correct glide path. "Level off," commanded the tower operator.

In the East, influenza B has attacked mostly the young and the old, with only a modest increase in resultant pneumonia. The Asian flu attacks all age groups indiscriminately, which explains the epidemic spread in California...

The overwhelming winner was Mrs. Louise Day Hicks, archfoe of attempts to correct de facto segregation in the city's schools, the losers were the reform candidates, including the outstanding liberal incumbent Arthur Gartland, who had received the endorsement of the Citizens for Boston Public Schools and other progressive groups...
