Petrie has a ruptured disk in his back, and it was thought that he might miss the entire season, probably costing his team the Ivy title. In a copyrighted story two weeks ago, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported that he would definitely miss the entire season. The reporter learned this through an interview with Petrie's mother...
...watched a pharmacist count pills one day in 1962. For a start, Roseberg borrowed $40 from a brother-in-law, Irving Zeiger, and began buying materials to create a pill counter. Eventually he came up with a device that consists of a plastic turntable and a counterrotating gearlike disk. Pills are dumped on the turntable, forced into line by the disk, automatically spaced out for counting by a tiny photoelectric cell, and dropped into a pillbox...
...campuses, that Paul McCartney is dead. As with most rumors, no one really knows its source. It has been variously traced to a thesis by an Ohio Wesleyan University student, a satirical but deadpan story in the Oct. 14 issue of the University of Michigan Daily, and a Detroit disk jockey who spread much the same nonsense over radio station WKNR.

Russ Gibb, disk jockey for Detroit radio station WKNR, had a startling announcement. Paul McCartney of the Beatles, he said, has been dead for several years, and is being impersonated by a double. Gibb figured it all out from two Beatles album covers.

...lucky when you get all four feeling funky at the same time." Lennon was talking about a recording session last summer that produced the latest Beatles record. Out this week, it is called Abbey Road, in honor of the group's favorite studios in London. The disk proves lucky indeed -for listeners who like being disarmed by the world's four most fortunate and famous music makers. Melodic, inventive, crammed with musical delights, Abbey Road is the best thing the Beatles have done since Sgt. Pepper (1967). Whereas that historic record stretched the ear and challenged the mind...
