...college that has grown from vacant lot to excellence in just six years last week won full accreditation. At the earliest opportunity that its rules permit, the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools accredited Florida Presbyterian College, a school that has not only set bright students to working with bright professors in new ways but has also embellished the concept of the church-connected school...
...Manhattan matrons refuse to dine out the night she is on. When Washington, D.C.'s WETA interrupted her program to carry Lyndon Johnson live, the station's switchboard was jammed for an hour. Miami's WTHS-TV ran through 117 of her 134 taped shows (the earliest tapes have simply worn out), found demand was so great that the station is now running through the whole series a second time.

His sculpture is designed, like painting and drawing, to be viewed from only one position. In one of his earliest works, Saw Head (1933), the over-all visual context is two dimensional, with the mouth and eye as obvious examples of the use of three dimensional form to suggest flat surface and line. Even the more three dimensional features, such as the nose, suggest two dimensional shading rather than full forms...
