...career. What's cosmically significant about that? Nothing, says Max. So why don't those lens-happy "reporters of the international scandal press" leave him alone? Soliloquizing in the West German daily Die Welt, onetime Journalist Schell added: "They squat like monkeys in trees, they hang like grape clusters from airliner stairways. Pitiless as wasps, they live off the blood of prominent personalities. In the private sphere, permission of the person photographed should be required...
...last week, three impatient shrieks of a locomotive whistle shattered the morning calm of Sanlucar de Barra-meda, a small Spanish city in the grape country around Cadiz. On the dusty railroad platform, the stationmaster nervously paced back and forth waiting for the expected passengers, seasonal workers who commute to their jobs in the vineyards. But scarcely a soul showed up at the station, for in Sanlucar and nearby Jerez de la Frontera 3,900 workers were out on strike for a $2.50 daily wage (a 50? boost), portal-to-portal pay between the vineyard and home...
President Kennedy flung wide the French doors of his office, stepped out into the spring twilight, inhaled deeply.

The committee suggested that the question of merger be discussed at the parish and district level for two years. Only after the discussions end will ecclesiastical experts attempt to resolve such technical problems as whether the teetotaling Methodists should continue...
Strong Drinks. Though beer went into cans without trouble, it took years of research to find inside coatings that would resist the acids in soft drinks, (In early trials, grape soda came out of the can a nauseous white.) Once the problems were licked, the steel companies and canmakers spared no expense to publicize some advantages that cans have over bottles, i.e., they are unbreakable, lighter (and hence cheaper to ship), and do not have to be returned. To persuade soft-drink manufacturers that their ads ought to feature happy citizens swigging their soda pop from cans, both American...
