Imbert appealed to the rebels holed up in downtown Santo Domingo to surrender their weapons, guaranteed their safe-conduct "without reservations." He called for peace, unity, bound himself "to cooperate totally" with the Organization of American States, and, with the U.S., struggle to bring at least a semblance of sanity to his battered, forsaken land. He claimed he had control of all 25 Dominican provinces and 90% of the capital district. He asked all public employees to return to work, promised that his government would start paying salaries promptly...
...years ago the notion would have been considered absurd. Yet today the 2,200 students of Ithaca College sing that song with considerable spirit -and unquestionable altimetric accuracy. After 73 years as mainly a coed music and physical-education school housed in a seedy assortment of Victorian buildings in downtown Ithaca, the college now occupies 250 windswept acres atop South Hill, where the clean bold lines of its new $30 million, 23-building complex do, indeed, soar high above Cornell...

Practice scrimmages are studiedly informal: the losers buy the winners beer. "We just have a good time," says Coach Ben Goertemiller-at the expense of the nation's best college teams. Since 1946, the Mt. Washington Wolfpack has won 185 games, lost only nine. Last season they were undefeated; this...
...next on her list of places to go and see. She will be flying over next month for the Ed Sullivan show, open in Reno in October, move on to Manhattan's Copacabana in November. But in fact, she has already conquered. Not only was Downtown the best hit of 1964; right behind it is her I Know a Place, which in the past five weeks has zoomed from No. 50 to No. 2, seems sure to make the last rung...
