...tall, strong blonde," a Pitzer College admissions officer scrawled enthusiastically, in summing up the qualifications of a bright and idealistic student applicant. Personal evaluations count heavily at California's intensely informal Pitzer, where the teachers lecture in shirtsleeves, barefoot girls pad into class carrying Cokes, and the janitor speaks his mind at faculty-student meetings so tumultuously democratic, says President John W. Atherton, "that the only way I can restrain myself from yelling is to walk out with great dignity." Destruction of Innocence. Endowed by Orange Grower Russell K. Pitzer with a $1.2 million trust, the school nestles...
Pall Mall First. According to Analyst John C. Maxwell Jr., who keeps the most reliable count of this secretive market, American Tobacco's king-size Pall Mall is still the fastest seller, closely followed by R. J. Reynolds' Winston. Unfiltered Camel and Lucky Strike, which vied for first place until the late 1950s, are steadily losing favor. In a comeback attempt, American is test-marketing Lucky Strikes with a tobacco-flavored filter, has sent out Luckies' veteran, quick-tongued radio auctioneer, "Speed" ("Sold American!")

By latest count-subject to last-minute change-they had picked up 16 seats in the Midwest alone, including three in Ohio, two in Indiana and Wisconsin, one each in Illinois, Nebraska and North Dakota. The Democrats won at least six of Iowa's seven seats; many of the victors were young upstarts, notably John Culver, 32, former aide to Teddy Kennedy. The Democratic phalanx marched from Maine, where at least one out of two Democrats triumphed, to Washington, where the state...
Most "promising" of all is what Kennedy will do to New York. If, as you write, Kennedy's national ambitions will drive him to "amass a Senate record of extraordinary strength". It is doubtful that he will succeed. He can count on little help from a President whose animosity toward him is well known and who slammed the door on his Vice-Presidential aspirations. Surely he will be aided neither by the Southern Democrats who control the all-powerful committees, nor by the Congressmen over whom Kennedy has rides rough shod. James W.
