Boston reporters notwithstanding, Arthur Gartland '36 seemed to know exactly what he was risking when he lent his name to the Citizens for Boston Schools. The Hicks juggernaut was proclaiming the current excellence of Boston schools. In his campaign speeches, Gartland pointed to the $29 million in building funds which has been available to the Committee since a 1963 bond issue; only $2.2 million of this has been allocated to date, although in some schools, more than 40 pupils are crowded into classrooms. Gartland also critized the obsolete vocational training program, the large number of temporary, unlicensed teachers now employed...
...five wounded a day. Typical was a night's work last week. After dusk a Marine platoon surrounded a hamlet in which V.C. had been reported hiding out, split into five squads and sat down to wait.

Prince Bernhard had already been dunked in his tux, most of the other guests had followed him in like a pack of performing Kennedys at Hickory Hill, and now all the subjects lent a hand in fishing Her Majesty out of the drink. Next morning the management sent some divers down after some of the ladies' jewelry...
...experienced such sublime misery can stay away indefinitely, and last week Oldtimers Lauri and Mosconi chalked up again. It was a threeday, 1,000-point match, arranged to raise money for ailing Lauri's medical bills. A charitable New York poolroom lent a table, cut off the recorded music out of respect for the occasion, and crowded in 1,000 of the faithful. As Lauri, 69, made his runs, Mosconi wore a crushing expression of disdain. It upset Lauri's concentration so much that he committed an inexcusable scratch-missing the object ball entirely. "You play with this...
