...model homes constructed and was ready to begin selling. The modest, basically similar, concrete-block houses ranged from $8,750 for a two-bedroom structure to $11,600 for a three-bedroom and two-bath house. On the first week end, purchasers bought 272 of the neat and gay pastel houses-and the flow has not stopped since. In 1960 the Webb company sold 1,472 houses and 262 apartments for about $17.5 million-and 60% of the sales were for cash. This year the company is building a second batch of slightly larger houses that sell for from...

"Bloody blasphemous cow," he thinks, and tells her off in strong valley language. It is a compelling story so far-both gay and dismal. But Novelist Gallic will not let Griff welsh on his Welsh-ness : she wants him to win. In the end, the stage seems set for a true marriage of mathematics and letters, in a way the readers can only hope will warm the intercultural cockles of the heart...
Midshipmen to watch will be "Colonel" Don Griffin, Eastern breaststroke champion, and Gay Hopkins, who last week broke up what Brooks calls the Yale "mortgage" in the 220 freestyle...
