...young man in Washington, D.C., American Motors' President George Romney showed up at a costume party as a knight, accompanied by a fair young maiden whose hand he had just won (see cut). The choice of dress was symbolic. Later, Romney rode forth to battle, astride his trusty Rambler to engage what he considered the modern U.S. dragon: the dinosaur-like big car. For a while, Detroit regarded him as a mere windmill tilter. But as Romney began to smite the dinosaur hip and thigh, TIME chronicled his success round by round, carefully reported the rise of the small...
...Producer David Susskind has no time limit at all on his Sunday-night round table, Open End (TIME, Nov. 24), and it usually rambles on for two hours.

Then, toward the parade's end, a snowball hit a motorcycle cop who had been holding back crowds by gunning his tricycle back and forth. Almost everyone managed to be wrongheaded about what followed. The national vice president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians nonsensically protested that the disturbance was an attack on Roman Catholicism; Yale students howled that it was hobnailed police brutality; and Yale's President A. Whitney Griswold charged it to "childishness...
Nicholas Constantine Christofilos is a rumpled, somewhat obstreperous lone wolf in the ordered ranks of modern physicists. He has no degrees in physics, little formal training. But time and again, he has brought forth ideas that have proved right...
