...court. Ironic indeed is the fact that this basic lesson in elementary civics must be taught anew to, of all pupils, the very persons to whom we daily entrust our offspring for training and development as the leaders of tomorrow." So wrote New York Supreme Court Justice Emilio Nunez last week as he ruled against the United Federation of Teachers for ignoring a court injunction and striking New York City's public schools. U.F.T. President Albert Shanker was given a $250 fine and a 15-day jail sentence. The union itself was fined...
...disturbed by the unexpected annexation of the Philippines. The Anti-Imperialist League, founded in Boston by such well-known men as Grover Cleveland and Andrew Carnegie, attracted 500,000 protesting members, as U.S. troops found themselves in the uncomfortable position of having to put down Philippine Guerrilla Leader Emilio Aguinaldo's liberation movement.

Ohrbach's looked over the situation, decided that on the ratio of bikini to flesh, what they'd better advertise was the tan ("A little green buys a lot of tan at Ohrbach's"). And Arnold Constable ran three lissome lovelies in bikinis with a message guaranteed to send every woman reader back to her diet tables: "A reward for every good girl who gave up malteds last March...
...squabble between Christian Democrats and Socialists over who would be officially tapped to run Italy's biggest financial institution once Longo stepped out. The Christian Democrats favored Lolli, who has the backing of such important moneymen as Bank of Italy Governor Dr. Guido Carli and Treasury Minister Emilio Colombo. The Socialists, demanding jobs and economic power as the price for their 1963 split with the Communists and alliance with the Christian Democrats, urged the appointment of Paolo Pagliazzi, 58, a former professor who is currently the bank's real estate loan expert...
