...should succeed Adenauer as chancellor. The old man himself favored Finance Minister Franz Etzel, a quiet corporation lawyer who could be counted upon to accept tutelage. But the majority of Christian Democratic leaders clearly preferred-and intended to get-independent-minded Ludwig Erhard whose voter appeal is almost equal to that of Adenauer himself...
Running after Roscoe. Fortnight ago at the Modesto. Calif, relays, Morrow, Norton and Woodhouse trailed as chunky (5 ft. 9 in., 154 Ibs.) University of Oregon sophomore Roscoe Cook came from nowhere to pass them all and equal the world record. Cook, 20, had stage fright before the race. "I was scared," he admits.

Another similarly explains, "psychological insight: God is a product of man; the most valuable part of religion...
