...Democratic side, affable, grey-haired Roy Archibald, 47, defeated Edward Keating, 42, former publisher of the New Left Ramparts magazine, by 15,069 votes to 8,881. Keating, who billed himself as the "real" peace candidate, stood fast for Proposition P. Archibald, a wartime PT-boat skipper who is a West Coast spokesman for the National Education Association and an able former mayor of San Mateo, voiced mild qualms over U.S. tactics in Viet Nam but supported the U.S. commitment...
...complete. The tax-free shops of Aden's Steamer Point, which once swarmed with cruise-ship tourists, are now boarded up and deserted. The Crescent Hotel, hub of colonial life, is virtually empty. Aden harbor, no longer a port of call, was filled last week with the glowering grey warships of the British fleet, including the 43,000-ton aircraft carrier H.M.S. Eagle. All but 3,000 of the 12,000-man garrison have already been evacuated by ship and plane, most to British bases in Bahrain or Masqat and Oman; the rest will be gone by the middle...
Never Before. The spinal cord is a cylinder of whitish-grey mush surrounded by a tough casing, running through the hollow centers of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. Inside the cord are nerve cells and main nerve tracts like a telephone installer's spaghetti wire. Although smaller nerves in the extremities may regenerate after injury and partial restoration of function is possible if the cord is not completely severed, there is virtually no precedent of rejoining and restoring function to a completely severed spinal cord in man. Dr. Murray offered a simple explanation of previous failure and his apparent...
...recommending that the U.S. make its road signs easier to recognize by broadening the basic spectrum of six colors (white, black, red, green, yellow, blue) now being used. The new hues would include purple for school zones, orange for road construction ("detour"), and brown for public recreation areas-with grey, buff and chartreuse held in reserve for future needs. So far, Washington, D.C., and Denver have tested the purple school signs with favorable results, and Albuquerque and Syracuse are now planning to try them as well...
...only race Native Dancer ever lost. In a three-year career marred by bad luck (he was knocked off stride by a swerving horse in the Derby) and a succession of physical ailments (bucked shins, stone bruises, a bad ankle, a sore hoof), Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's "Grey Ghost" won 21 out of 22 races and $785,240-surpassing the record of the legendary Man o War. He was such a favorite with the bettors that only in his very first race were Native Dancer's odds higher than 9 to 10. Retired in 1954 to Vanderbilt...
