...time in Vienna in 1961, he noticed a medal on the Russian's chest, asked what it was. When Khrushchev replied that it symbolized the Lenin Peace Prize, Kennedy snapped back: "I hope you keep it." Again, when he spoke at a big-money fund-raising dinner in Denver, he looked over the audience for a moment, then cracked: "I am touched by your attendance-but, of course, not as deeply touched as you were...
Lila Mauldin, 26, Albuquerque housewife and mother of three, was always short of breath; she got tired in no time. Diagnosis of her trouble was easy enough, and last spring she went to Denver's National Jewish Hospital for an operation to correct mitral stenosis -a narrowing of the valve inside her heart, between its upper and lower left chambers.

They decided that Mrs. Mauldin would be the perfect subject for such autotransfusions. Back in Denver early this month, she gave three pints in five days, on a low-salt but otherwise normal diet.

Eurich, head of the Ford Foundation's Fund for the Advancement of Education, and inventor of the Aspen Award...
...survey by the University of North Carolina's School of Journalism, suburban and weekly papers-a. category that includes the giveaways-have gained circulation at 30 times the rate of the metropolitan press. They are proliferating too rapidly for accurate count. Los Angeles alone has 200, Detroit 50, Denver 20-and each figure is constantly subject to revision as the census soars. Much of their enormous growth has been logged at the expense of the paid-circulation press...
