...Kennedy style! That is the word. The Kennedy style was precisely what Americans needed. It gave a lift to Americans' pride in their country. He was a fun man after hours. Despite the atom bomb and all that, America was again becoming a fun country. Kennedy did not actually accomplish much in a specific sense during his three years in the White House. Neither in domestic nor foreign affairs can a great deal be put to his account. What was important about President Kennedy was not what he did but who he was. In this period of the American...
...government embarks on its second five-year plan, Korea is pulsing with activity. The war demands of Viet Nam have created a huge export market for uniforms, boots, rubber goods, plywood, construction materials and galvanized sheet plate.

The Marines saw his body lift into the air even before they heard the explosion. Though a Marine patrol had passed safely through the area only seconds before, Fall's boot had come upon a buried land mine left by the Viet Cong. Badly maimed by shrapnel, Fall sank to the ground, was dead within two minutes...
Thank goodness for the Dartmouth hockey team! There's nothing that could lift the luckless Crimson skaters out of their slump as surely as Saturday's 8 p.m. game with the Indians...
