...covers are meant to shout "Look at us! Look how outrageous we can be!" Sometimes the contents match the packaging. Every month, at least one Esquire article snipes at a sacred cow or takes some other unorthodox approach to a topic in the news. Recently, the magazine has offered "The Holy Kennedys," "The Late General MacArthur, Warts and All," "Bobby Baker Has It Made," "Two Cheers for the National Geographic," "In Defense of Cassius Clay," "The Life and Suspiciously Hard Times of Anthony Quinn," and "The American Newspaper Is Neither Record, Mirror, Journal, Ledger, Bulletin, Telegram, Examiner, Register, Chronicle, Gazette...
...other postwar entrepreneurs-mostly returning servicemen who shared Prescott's ambition to start an airline. Undaunted by all the competition, most of which was soon to wither, Prescott sent his pilots barnstorming for business.

She will probably be assigned to Appalachia...
Cutting Up the Cow. Many of the nation's colleges that remain segregated by sex are run by Roman Catholic religious orders-and these are abandoning separatism as eagerly as secular schools. Notre Dame, which last year absorbed the drama department of its feminine neighbor, St. Mary's College, is exploring more formal ties-much to the concern of the St. Mary's faculty. One informal survey showed that 40% of St. Mary's teachers do not now meet Notre Dame standards, presumably would suffer in any merger. But Notre Dame seems so intent on affiliation...
