...November and at least through next month, Cartoonist Gray is devoting the strip to a "thorough and penetrating analysis" of teen-age violence. Editors and parents find the story line about Annie's adventures among street hoodlums a little too authentic for comfort. Last week the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and Columbus' Ohio State Journal both suspended Annie until she finds better companions. Explained the morning Globe-Democrat on its front page: "Annie . . . features muggings, switchblade knives and language that we think does not fit into [this] type of newspaper." Half a dozen other dailies from Buffalo...
...five flares have been observed thus far, and last week's released the highest concentration of cosmic rays ever recorded. While scientists rushed to launch balloons loaded with photographic film and radio-recording equipment, the explosion was producing some weird and widespread effects. Short-wave communication about the globe was severely crippled, and telephone communications between New York, London and Rome were totally disrupted for several hours. For seven panicky hours the British Admiralty lost contact with the submarine Acheron, which was cruising in the frigid waters of Denmark Strait...
...made more money out of the great Brink's robbery than any of the men who robbed Brink's is still at large-and still making money out of it. For the Boston Globe's Joseph F. Dinneen, 57, dean of New England crime reporters, the big heist got him a Globe column called "Brink's Notebook," a handful of magazine articles, a book (Anatomy of a Crime) and a movie sale (Six Bridges to Cross).

Once, on a ship during a pilgrimage to Rome, Cardinal O'Connell noticed a young lady applying lipstick, upbraided her severely. That evening, while the cardinal relaxed over a glass of port and a cigar, Dinneen asked him why he had been so rough on the girl. "The Holy Virgin Mary...
Keeping It in the Family. Dinneen no longer works out of the Globe city room. His headquarters are in a dingy private office half a block away from the Globe, where callers who require privacy can get it. But a Dinneen is still a fixture in the Globe city room: his son, Joe Jr., 32, also is a crime specialist. Last week, while his father was back on the Brink's beat, young Dinneen drew the other top current crime assignment, a murder trial in Plymouth. Another son, Robert, 30, is a newsreel cameraman-who covered the same trial...
