...Fuss. After a holiday rest at Camp David in Maryland, Kennedy came back to Washington to face his weekly press conference. He clearly felt like having one (he has been skipping them from time to time lately), but he just as clearly wanted to raise no fuss that would open him to further charges of aggressiveness. He could not resist sticking an elbow into the American Medical Association for its opposition to medicare, but he ducked a question about Teddy in Massachusetts, shucked off an invitation to become involved in a public dispute with Dwight Eisenhower. Asked what he thought...
From Arthur Goldberg on down, government mediators have been so involved in recent labor-management bargaining that a lot of people have forgotten that settlement can come any other way. Last week the U.S. got a pleasant reminder-with less fuss and happier results. After more than a month of negotiations so quiet that they escaped public notice, the United Steelworkers of America and the nation's five major aluminum companies signed two-year contracts that provide no wage increases for 27,000 union workers but give them improved vacation, pension and supplemental unemployment benefits...

By a vote of 73 to 27, the presbytery-exercising its power to intervene in hiring-firing matters that are normally left to congregations and their elders-voted to oust Broadway's minister, the Rev. Stuart Merriam, 38. Also removed from office were the church's ten pro-Merriam elders, who were replaced by a presbytery-appointed commission. Merriam was asked to remove his personal belongings from the church-and even to refrain from attending...
...goat and chicken to the throb of drums and the jangle of tambourines in the mountain village of Hasroun. finally the presentation of the nation's highest award, Commander of the Order of the Cedars, for "propagating the good name of Lebanon abroad." To U.S. TV fans, the fuss was readily fathomable. Yacoub is better known as hawk-nosed, ham-on-wry Danny Thomas, 48, Michigan-born son of a Lebanese farmer who left Hasroun at the turn of the century to raise a family of ten children...
