Roared North Carolina's Tar Heel on Tatum's imminent arrival: "Now that we have this parasitic monster of open professionalism in our midst, let's not hold on to any delusions about it. Let's not think that it will fail to dye the whole fabric of athletics at the university. Let's not think either that it will fail to take its toll on the academic health of the school. Let's not believe that Jim Tatum . . . will play the game any more for the old college try here than...
...approach the Grass Moon School, often dispensed with such traditional props as water vases and bamboo tubes, using instead a tiny flower or bud stuck in an empty lipstick container, the cap off a toothpaste tube or an empty perfume bottle. Sofu even went so far as to dye flowers, incorporate red bird feathers, use dried grass, withered leaves and dead flowers.

Norman Lanning huddled with his wife and three children a gainst the kitchen wall by the refrigerator, which skidded away; the wall was the only thing left standing...
...University of Louisville researchers, Dr. Alex J. Steigman and Dr. Murray Lipton, have developed a color test to indicate whether a child is protected against polio. The method: Hela cells (easily grown cancer cells) are mixed with polio virus, an indicator dye and a blood sample. Incubated at 36° centigrade for a week, the mixture is then examined for color. If the child is fully protected, the mixture will be yellow; if not, red. The new method, say the Louisville doctors, is cheaper ($25) than previous tests, requires less time than tests using monkeys, and will enable many more...
