...moved slowly at first, was accused of copycat management because he adopted many innovations of the government-owned Canadian National. But Crump steadily picked up momentum, has become a hard man to brake. He has entirely dieselized the road, shorn off many of its unprofitable branch lines and short-haul passenger trains, aggressively adopted piggybacking and bought the world's largest railroad-owned computer to direct freight and handle accounting. Result: in 1963's expanding economy, after a monotonous downgrade run, C.P.R.'s earnings rose 24% to $40.1 million, the highest since 1957. Canadian Pacific Airlines also...

In Philadelphia a man who insisted on making love to his wife three and four times a night was jailed for vagrancy because, as a social worker explained, "the magistrate couldn't think of anything else...
Henry V. Something resembling a thunderbolt is heard offstage. Out of nowhere, what seem like a hundred men are shouting, sweating, straining as they haul a cannon to stage center. It belches smoke. It is hidden in smoke. The whole theater is going up in smoke. A man has mounted the cannon, but it is difficult to see him, let alone hear him. He is King Henry V (George Grizzard), and what he is saying is, "God for Harry, England and St. George." What the scene is saying is-the prop's the thing...
