...second debate between U.S. Senate candidates H. Stuart Hughes and George Cabot Lodge '50 will take place next Wednesday night, October 10, in Waltham, with the exact location to be agreed upon shortly by the participates. The debate will be televised by WHDH...
Invisible Stunts. Points are awarded in sport parachuting both for accuracy (trying to hit the exact center of the 328-ft. target area from as high as 1,500 meters) and style, in which sky divers somersault and turn by waggling their outstretched arms.

There can be too much fuss over details, an insistence on exact procedure and an overemphasis on the appearance (as opposed to the reality) of competence. In general, the female trend is toward economy and financial caution. Faced with a recession, the female corporation hastens to curtail expenditure and reduce the dividend."
