...roadblock to faster reactor progress, said Murray, is the fear of some private utilities that Government reactors (such as those proposed in the Gore-Holifield bill now pending before Congress) would lead to an "atomic TVA." As a way out, Murray suggested that Congress might direct AEC to build some full-scale reactors adjoining AEC plants, thus avoid competing with private power as they would if they were scattered throughout the U.S. At week's end it looked as though some such middle way might have to be found to get the reactor program in high gear-or Congress...
Visit to a Small Planet (by Gore Vidal) attracted considerable attention as a satirical TV yarn about a man from a distant and civilized planet who. via flying saucer, visits his "hobby," the Earth. It later aroused considerable speculation as to how, without being sadly watered down, a good saucerful of TV fun could fill a regulation soup bowl of a play.

The attorneys general of Louisiana and Texas sent word that they would attend the trial themselves or have representatives there. Fund-raising drives for the defense were organized in Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana and Georgia. The issue to be fought out in Knoxville: Can the federal judiciary properly invoke...
...these seven sports: crew, baseball, cross country, football, handball, tennis, and track. Instead of giving trophies to the winners of each competition, it was decided to divide a single trophy into three parts, each representing a season--fall, winter, and spring. The three existing freshman dorms, Smith Hall, Gore Hall, and Standish Hall--now parts of Kirkland and Winthrop Houses--became contenders for the award. Points were given not only to the winners in each sport, but also to the dorms with the greatest number of residents earning their freshmen numerals for playing in intercollegiate sports...
