...schizophrenia (TIME. June 15). It had been an eventful eight days since Long forced his release from an insane asylum, made a travesty of Louisiana's mental-health laws, and reinstated himself as Governor in a motel room near the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. Milestones in the hectic trail between the Pine Manor Motel and the Governor's mansion: ¶ With his bony feet sticking out of the sheet that covered his body, Ole Earl held a press conference from his motel bed, told reporters why his frightened wife, Blanche, was seeking a divorce. "Jealousy brought this...

It became immortalized by being the last class to hold a Freshman Smoker. Although special precautions were made, '59's Smoker proved too hectic for University Hall.

By "cheating every minute," he has managed to turn out a symphony and a quantity of piano works and chamber music. As a concert pianist, he admires the moderns-Copland...
...talks continued behind a wall of privacy calculated to give the participants a chance to thresh out their problems without distractions. At least once a day, Ike's deadpanned Press Secretary Jim Hagerty and Macmillan's ebullient Pressman Peter Hope briefed newsmen at hectic conferences held in a Gettysburg gymnasium 25 miles away from Camp David. Reporters generally had to follow Hagerty and Hope to their hotel rooms for private briefings on what the other briefings had actually been about. Then they returned to the gymnasium for still more clarifying explanations-from each other. But gradually, despite...
