...constitutional commando-Manhattan's N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. Though it has only 14 fulltime lawyers, the aggressive defense fund has in recent years argued more cases before the Supreme Court than any other non-governmental organization. Last week it scored again when the court ordered faster school desegregation in Atlanta (see EDUCATION). While also celebrating its 25th birthday, the "Inc. Fund," as it is now known by its many friends and many foes, basked in praise from such admirers as Burke Marshall, the Justice Department's civil rights chief, who called the fund "a gigantic...
...themselves into sea dogs and start trolling within minutes of arrival for such specialized game fish as corvina (which go to 20 Ibs.) and sargo.

For four laps, he howled around the track, and dockers stared openmouthed at the time: an average 158.8 m.p.h. per lap, an astonishing 7.7 m.p.h. faster than the track record set by Jones last year.

As it is, the ownership of Comsat Corp.-whose shares were approved for listing two weeks ago by the New York Stock Exchange-will be divided among the public and the nation's communications companies. The size...
That service is growing even faster than the U.S. Every working day, A.T.&T. installs 11,500 new phones and handles 251 million calls. The number of Bell telephone calls within the U.S. is expanding by 15% a year, and A.T.&T. is straining to prevent a massive clogging of overloaded circuits by steadily expanding and improving its equipment. Actually, the Bell System is one great computer, linked by 24 billion interconnections and by enough copper wire to spin a four-ply cable to the sun. The computer's innards are an orderly assemblage of $24 billion worth...
