...been an outspoken, effective conciliator between the community's three often-differing ethnic groups: the Indian, the Spanish, and what the Taosenos call the "Anglo." Says Editor Cabot: "Being the only paper in a valley where there are three completely different outlooks is something like sitting on a keg of powder in a dark room. You know that it's dangerous to light a match, but you have to do it to see where...
...when a college ballplayer is so good that he is assured of a career in the majors. Texas has sent some, including Dodger Innelder Randy Jackson and Boston Manager Pinky Higgins, and Bibb himself went to the Chicago White Sox directly from the Texas campus in 1920.

...Honolulu press conference last week, 61-year-old, keg-shaped Dave Beck, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, turned to a sport-shirted little man who was sitting silently by and barked: "Who runs this union, Jimmy?" Grinning ingenuously, James R. Hoffa, ninth vice president of the I.B.T. and most undisciplined of Beck's bad boys (TIME, March 19), jumped to his feet and replied: "You run it, Dave. The board meeting today certainly proved that...
