...devil on the local paper, the Groton Independent. His tutor was Shop Foreman John Thoeny, who now owns the paper. Bethke worked before and after school and all day Saturday for a salary of $3 a week. He began to learn hand composition, then linotype, layout and makeup. After graduating from high school, he worked as editor of the paper for a year before going to Dakota Wesleyan University. During summers he toured the Midwest as an itinerant printer, ''working with the last of a famous breed, the oldtime tramp printers...
...stranger who sees him for the first time is inevitably surprised at what he sees. Partly this is true because newspaper readers and TV viewers think of Ike in black & white photographs, where his bland coloring makes for a washed-out picture.

The U.S. office landscape is full of wire bras, pancake makeup, and clouds of Chanel No. 5 rising from filing cabinets. Of the total U.S. labor force of 63 million, nearly one-third are women, twice as big a proportion as 60 years ago. Nevertheless, there are not enough top women executives in the U.S. today to form a medium-sized chorus...
...isolation of polio virus in apparently pure form will be of enormous help to researchers in their efforts to produce a safe and effective vaccine against the disease. Many of the hazards connected with the older and relatively impure virus preparations can be eliminated. Chemists can study the makeup of the particles as a first step to finding out why they behave as they do, and how to reduce their ravages...
