...valedictorian complex," King suggested, is an example of another student problem--"ego identify." King claimed that the Freshman has to re-orient himself among students at least as capable as he, and in doing so is forced to re-evaluate his ideals and ambitions. Contact with members of differing social starta and intellectual ability, King said, also forces the Freshman to reconsider his "social acceptability...
...fast. There are those who declare that Picasso is at last treating his mesmerized public to the joke skeptics accused him of playing as early as the 1900's. This, however, is difficult to accept.

When Kansas-born Al Thornbrough became the firm's executive vice president three years ago, the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. This week, by virtue of his aggressive policies, the company proved a remarkable comeback from 1957's losses of $4,700,000; it announced 1958 earnings that topped $13 million, or $1.25 a share. While sales in Europe, Africa, Australia, South...
