...INDIANA. Republican Edgar D. Whitcomb, 50, is a trim (6 ft., 180 Ibs.) George Romney look-alike whose wife Pat is widely regarded as the prettiest woman on the Indiana political scene. A bomber navigator in World War II, Whitcomb was captured by the Japanese, later wrote a book called Escape from Corregidor, which he distributed by the thousands during his campaign. In his race against Lieutenant Governor Robert L. Rock, the Democratic nominee, conservative Whitcomb promised to veto any rise in state taxes, even though the Indiana treasury is bare...
...Alabama-Florida League in attendance. The town took its Oilers to its bosom, inviting them to church suppers and baking pies for them and washing their clothes and giving them room-and-board (all very much appreciated, since a player earned from $150 to $300 a month in Class D).

I'm not interested in just the Afro-Americans, but in all students. It's not my purpose to foster a given line. White students need the course as much as black students...
...Purdue lost the ball game. But it lost more. It lost Temple Drake. As the happy Minnesota crowd filed out of the park, Temple Drake slipped into the Band dressing room. She got out of her glitteringly oppressive majorette's uniform--hated thing!--and pulled on a Dashiki she'd stuck into her suitcase. Then she went to the bus station and bought a ticket for South Bend...
