...anti-bomber Bomarc B missile system, like its predecessor Bomarc A, will likely become obsolete before it is operational (two or three years). It also overlaps the role of manned interceptors (F-102, F-104,F-106). In the light of the Soviet jump over bombers to ICBMs, interceptors seem adequate for nonmissile air-defense needs, but Bomarc's billion-dollar program keeps right on abuilding...
...stop the Minneapolis Lakers' agile, husky (6 ft. 5 in., 230 Ibs.) Elgin Baylor from pouring in 64 points to give his team a home-court 136-115 victory, break by one point the scoring record of the National Basketball Association set in 1949 by Philadelphia's jump-shooting Joe Fulks...

The extraordinary thing, report the Opies, is the abiding loyalty of children to prattle that seems "more vastly entertaining to them than anything they learn from grownups." TV will never conquer the favorite jump-rope rhyme of little girls throughout much of the English-speaking world...

...Analysis showed what happened to the excretion (and therefore, presumably, to the body's output) of various kinds of hormones. Adrenocortical hormones such as hydrocortisone were similar in the two groups, and varied little between day and night. But on the job, the competitive men's adrenaline jumped 86% above night readings, as against 36% for the comparison group. With noradrenaline, said Dr. Friedman, the jump was still more pronounced: 173% compared with 64%. In large amounts, both these hormones (and especially noradrenaline) might well lead to damaging wear and tear on the heart and arteries...
