...this white trash doin' round here?" asked one Negro woman as she made way for the Romney cavalcade in Washington. Nonetheless, the response in the slums was generally enthusiastic. "I think he's a cool dude," said Rufus ("Catfish") Mayfield, head of PRIDE, a Negro self-help organization in the capital. "I mean...
...will receive $250 million from the oil companies and 10,000 property owners will share an additional $136 million. The biggest beneficiary by far will be the state of California, which will get about $1,250,000,000 out of the deal. For Long Beach, the new riches will help finance many of the improvements in the minds of the city's imaginative leaders, who already have bought the Queen Mary for $3,450,000 for use as a waterfront museum and hotel, and have contracted to build a 3,500-seat A.A.U. pool where the U.S. Olympic trials...
Paralleling the student interest in current problems is a new yearning for value-defining courses that help put life in broad perspective. This often takes the form of a demand for religious studies.

IBM, with 70% of the U.S. computer market, dares not use its size to crush the dis count lessors, because of a 1956 antitrust consent decree...
These lingering difficulties are too small to sustain increased demand for U.S. oil. Having stepped up its output by 12% (to a record 9,400,000 bbls. a day in August) to help meet Western Europe's needs, the U.S. now faces a problem of oversupply. One result was an order last week by the Texas Railroad Commission, which cut the maximum allowable output per well from 54% to 46.7% of capacity. By December, oilmen expect that the limit will shrink to its pre-crisis norm...
