...while, and so Jimmy Hoffa, 50, decided to throw the old weight around. Working out with bar bells in a Chattanooga, Tenn., Y.M.C.A., he started with relatively short, painless sessions. That, explained Instructor Bill Floyd, was because the hardheaded teamster boss was going a little soft in the gut. Hoffa will need all the exercise he can get. He's in Chattanooga for a federal trial (his fifth) on jury-tampering charges stemming from his fourth court appearance, and it promises to be a lively one. His attorneys have already said they will call a monumentally hostile witness...

Foreseeing that McNamara would soon start shaking up the Navy, Korth jumped the gun on the Pentagon's civilian boss, appointed a study committee to reorganize the Navy's business side. Although some admirals, as Korth describes...
Undergraduates as well as Faculty members seem to think Soc Rel is a gut department. One reason is that the Department's teaching methods are often unorthodox, relying on combinations of lecture and group discussion. As a result, the courses seem informal and nonchalant to those used to more conventional procedures. Moreover, some members of the department think that three-hour exams are inadequate grading devices; hence there are a few courses where one can act out a "role" for his final grade or turn in a sheaf of cartoons on two-person group interactions instead of writing an examination...
