...Kevin Roche has designed a three-tier museum, with the roof of each tier serving as a broad, verdant terrace. Philadelphia's innovative Louis Kahn, whom all architects watch with what amounts to fascination, has such projects under way as a factory for Olivetti and an art museum in Fort Worth. Across the U.S., there is a wide range of powerfully self-confident and optimistic buildings...
Boros still wants people to believe that he would rather stay home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and fish for snook than play golf. At the very least, he says, "I get just as excited when I fish as I do when I'm playing golf." And how excited is that? Well, after he won the 1963 Open, Julius reportedly opened a beer, lit up a cigarette, and fell sound asleep while he was being interviewed by a nationally syndicated columnist.

...question arose in the case of Army SP4 Clayton Anderson, a 14-year veteran who went AWOL while stationed at Fort Polk, La., in November 1964. Anderson turned himself in on February 10, 1967, and was eventually found guilty of "unauthorized absence."

"We start with physical training at 5;30 in the morning, and we patrol most of the day," details Captain Kenneth Himsel, 30, an insurance executive. "We're not in the army to moonlight...
...unable to return to sea. Another 72 vessels were stalled at the Montreal end of the 2,342-mile waterway, and dozens more clogged smaller ports as far away as Trois Riveres, 80 miles downstream. Canadian railroads stopped wheat shipments to such key outlets as Port Arthur and Fort William on Lake Superior. Toronto shippers laid off 500 longshoremen. Executive Director Andrew W. Fleming of the Detroit-Wayne County Port Commission estimated that the tie-up was costing Michigan business $500,000 a day in lost revenues. "We expect some such stupidity as this about ten days a year," said...
