There is the case of a bright small-town boy, son of a construction foreman in northern Wisconsin. He has straight A's in math and science, B's in English, and he wants to be an electrical engineer. The state university fits his pocketbook, but his dream is M.I.T. He should try M.I.T. (though his only-average college board score in English is a hazard), and he should also try Wisconsin's Ripon College (enrollment: 600). He may feel happier at Ripon because it is smaller and less expensive...
...Whatever your income, save some of it," said lean, frugal Charles E. Stillings, 81. It seemed a nice homily from an old retired railroadman who lives in a shabby hotel room overlooking the New Haven train tracks at Stamford, Conn. His own income, during all his years as foreman of the New Haven Railroad's power plant at nearby Cos Cob, never reached $100 a week. But laconic Bachelor Stillings practiced just what he preached.

Pro hockey is one of the toughest of all sports, but Hull...
...logging-camp foreman in the State of Washington, Hulet got his first bear at the age of twelve, has since killed 3,159 more in a lifetime dedicated to prowling the great woods of the Olympic Peninsula. Hulet refers to himself respectfully as "Bear Bill," is so thoroughly devoted to the hunt that he is fully at ease only in the woods. Around people, Hulet wears an air of perpetual apprehension. Bulky and rounded (5 ft. 10½ in., 240 Ibs.), Hulet lumbers over the ground like the bear he hunts. And when he draws on his huge bearskin cape...
