Fish studies show that salmon catches run in a cycle of three good years and two bad ones. Next year seems likely to be the second bad one in the current go-round. Governor Hickel is considering closing Bristol Bay for the entire summer of 1968 to allow the salmon population to recover. The state is also urging fishermen to put up their boats for the year and find temporary employment elsewhere. Unless they do, Alaska's greatest natural resource may go the same sad way of fur trading and gold prospecting, which dominated the economy before the salmon...
Still, film makers have a difficult time figuring out how far they can go without getting into trouble. Only last week, 20th Century-Fox confirmed details of a go-round over their new Doris Day epic, Caprice. Seems that N.C.O.M.P. wanted Fox to slice out a 3½-sec. strip of film showing Shanghai-born Starlet Irene Tsu in a bikini. Well, not exactly in. In this sequence, Irene dives into a swimming pool, and the impact dislodges the bottom half of her bikini somewhat...
Windmill to Victory. From that point on, though, the contest is strictly man against beast. Last week, at the National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City, Franklin gave a superb demonstration of his skills. On his seventh "go-round," Glen lost precious seconds when he got off to a slow start, had to chase his calf halfway across the arena before he got within lariat range. Leaping out of the saddle, pigging string clutched in his teeth, he flung the calf to the ground and climbed astride, pinning the flailing legs between his own knees and "windmilling" the string around...
...Britain, where the courts have little power to intervene. U.S. businessmen are often taken aback by the anti-capitalist polemics, greater militance and puzzling multiplicity of the labor unions. The British have 190 unions, and a company such as Ford must negotiate with more than 20 on each contract go-round. In France three welders working side by side may belong to three different unions...
...would find that mathematics and philosophy are not such strange bed-fellows and that Buddha's teachings can have meaning for the twentieth century American." He will also have "freed himself from the concept of utility." All of this sounds very nice, on first reading, but on the second go-round it comes out as the syllabus for a sort of parody of a Gen Ed course...
