...valleys. For most Alaskans, each day is a dare, each night a doubtful victory. Territorial Police Superintendent Bob Brandt's meager force of uniformed police and U.S. deputy marshals patrol the vastnesses in planes, helicopters and on dog sleds, alert for signs of old trappers who sometimes die on the trail and are eaten by their dogs; for pillagers who ransack the remote cabins, where a food cache is a guarantee of life for the inhabitant; for the hardy men who are inexplicably swallowed up in the unmapped oblivion...
...would "be myself, be free, be cruel and be rich." But whenever he threatened to break out of the web, his mother would bind him tight again with a pernicious tissue of threats. "The day you leave here," she would sob self-pityingly, "I'm going to die!" As for Suzanne, she cleaned up the worms that fell from the diseased roof into the beds, into the food, and sat staring down the road, wondering if some day her prince would come...
Researcher Pavlovic has developed such skill that out of a recent series of 100 grafted embryos 30 did not die until their last day of incubation, and six hatched into living chicks.

This is nearly twice as many as any other packager; and, with his bi-weekly Armstrong Circle Theater, Susskind next year may well be producing a good third of the major live-drama output...
...rumor that a wealthy K.U. alumnus put up $25,000 or more for Wilt's services may die off, now that he is quitting the campus, says Wilt hopefully. But other well-paid college stars will wonder at his disclaimers of a decent salary at Kansas. More than 200 colleges bid for the privilege of paying Wilt to study in their classrooms. If Kansas offered only the approved room, board, tuition and $15 a month for laundry, it is hard to see why a cash-conscious young man like Wilt chose a college so far from home...
