Breach of Decency. Police had their suspicions about the shop all along, but were unaware of the full nature of the ring or its clients until a frightened 16-year-old prostitute who was arrested provided them with a list of 30 names. Some of the men were then charged with such offenses as pimping, corruption of minors and breach of decency. The list included three counts, a marquis, the son of an ex-king, a hotel owner, a prominent businessman and a former diplomat to the United Nations. The ring's two madams were immediately convicted and sentenced...
Even so, no company can long endure without a Carmen on its list, and last week, after six years' absence, Bizet's supple shocker returned to the Met in a new production. The Carmen was Grace Bumbry, a Negro mezzo-soprano from St. Louis; her Don Jose was Nicolai Gedda, a Swedish-Russian; the Escamillo was Justino Diaz, a Puerto Rican.

Says Lieut. Tom Ryan, of the 1st Airborne Division and Big Rapids, Mich.: "It's great just to see white girls with round eyes again." Major Norman G. Lau-meyer of Long Prairie, Minn., a helicopter pilot of the 1st Cavalry Division and a farmer in civilian life, took a day's flying tour to inspect...
...among federal officials that II-S should not be used to avoid military service entirely. Deferring medical students would not do this, as doctors are subject to a special draft which eventually takes more than half of them.

This would be an unacceptable situation to both draft and government officials...
