Though their parks are scattered in all 50 states, most for nontransients are located in the warmer climates of Florida, Texas, Arizona and California. But climate alone is not enough to lure the trailerites. Many are like the Lawrence Traylors, in their late 50s, who got lonely living in an apartment where "we could live and die, and nobody would care." So the Traylors moved to Mobile Manor in Arcadia, Calif., where they found "country-club living" in a handsomely furnished trailer (with color TV) and in the gregarious camaraderie that is the chief feature of trailer parks everywhere...
...research-happy McCann-Erickson agency. He was made a McCann vice president at 27, shortly after became right-hand man to McCann's President Marion Harper (who himself was named to the agency's top spot at 32).

But Peterson ignored the offer, jumped to Bell & Howell when the bait was sweetened to include a huge stock option.

With the dependability of a two-faced coin or a doctored roulette wheel, Americans each year lose between $20 billion and $30 billion on gambling-but they never lose interest.

The survey's conclusion: Protestantism is failing to demonstrate its "relevance" in the modern world. Other contributing factors are the lure of higher salaries in industry and science, the increased cost of theological education, the end of the post-Korea flood of students on the G.I. Bill of Rights...
Kelley and Oksanen quickly shook off early challengers, only to pick up a stubborn new competitor-a flop-eared black dog that stayed with them for 14 miles, intermittently skittered across the road, nipped at the racers' heels, and stubbornly eluded state troopers who tried to lure him off the course. At the 16-mile mark, the mongrel charged at Oksanen, who swerved suddenly and caused Kelley to trip and fall. Sprawled on the road with a skinned elbow and knee, a bleeding hand and a grit-stained face, Kelley got a helping hand from Fellow Runner Fred Norris...
