...mighty IBM had fallen from its October high of 607 to 398∧ "X" marked the spot on the ticker tape where U.S. Steel was down from last year's high of 9¼ to 52¼. As wave after selling wave buffeted blue chips and glamour stocks indiscriminately, the Dow-Jones index of 30 key stocks tumbled almost 39 points last week to 611.88, the lowest level since Jan. 4, 1961.

But before the market closed, bargain hunters moved in and drove IBM shares back up 32 points to $462. By the end of the week, successive rallies had boosted the price...
Vavoulis has little political glamour, little flair, little gift of gab. But he has two qualities that St. Paul voters obviously like a lot: he conveys an impression of deep sincerity, and he works very hard at his job. "I saw the man turn up at meetings I never dreamed the mayor even knew about," says a St. Paul newsman. "He may have been a bit tiresome, but he was tireless...
