Shortchanged. In Miami, three nights after he robbed Mack's Liquor Store of $46, a holdup man returned, pointed a pistol at Proprietor Herman Mack, told him: "I read in the papers where I got $600 ... I came back for the rest," made off with...
...South, some states have threatened to take drastic steps if the court bans segregation. South Carolina's Governor James Byrnes and his legislature already have on the books a "preparedness law" ready to abolish the public-school system.

Thus, he suggested, the site of the disease may determine its type. Metabolic changes, which have received so much attention, may be the result rather than the cause of the aging and hardening of the arteries...
