Street-roaming delinquents might not have been listening this week, but the kids saw and heard the physical translation. The gentle police approach was gone; "headbeaters" (cops) were on watch everywhere. And behind the men and women in the deep blue uniforms stood the toughest cop of all, keenly aware that the responsibility for keeping the peace was his, positive that his approach to juvenile delinquency was the proper one for a policeman-especially since the other approaches had not solved the problem. For New York's fisty finest, Commissioner Stephen Patrick Kennedy had a last basic police order...
...from an irate citizen. The letter, delivered with oratorical flourishes, was a scathing indictment of the U.S. exhibit at the Brussels Fair as a notable U.S. propaganda failure in the cold war.

By the time the meeting closed (with a festive tea), the commissioners were confident that a new Army was on its way. Among decisions taken...
...billion women's garment industry, came a pronouncement last week: the sack is dead, and the chemise is so changed it will hardly be recognized. A record swarm of 3,578 out-of-town buyers crowded into the garment district for the annual June showings of fall fashions, heard the judgment of the manufacturers: they simply are not making the sack. As for chemises, since some big manufacturers found they had dropped to 5% of sales, they...
