...wrong to say, "not in living memory has a white Mississippian been convicted of raping a Negro" [Nov. 19]. On July 27, 1960, in the Circuit Court of Grenada County, Fifth Judicial District, Mississippi, a white male, L. J. Loden, was charged with raping a Negro female. He was indicted, prosecuted by District Attorney Chatwin M. Jackson Jr. of Kosciusko, Miss., and found guilty by an all-white male jury. He is serving a life sentence in the Mississippi State Penitentiary...
Fast Flicker. Backed by the FAA, Dr. Hauty and Dr. Thomas Adams began with four volunteers, all male FAA employees aged 30 to 55, all scientists. For a week they tested the subjects in Oklahoma City to determine base lines for pulse, blood pressure, breathing rate, urinalysis, flicker-fusion time (how fast a light can flicker before it appears to merge into a steady beam), perspiration from the palms (an index of emotional tension), and rectal temperature every two hours round the clock...

With a flex of his coiled-spring legs, he can probably leap higher than anyone else anywhere in the world. But he has a high distaste for fame as a human jack-in-the-box. "Jumping is not an end in itself," Kehlet explains. "How you get up there and how you get back is not important. It's what you do when you're up there that counts." What...
...Hayley lets out of the bag is a Siamese. Male. Blue-eyed. Seal point. She calls him "D.C." which means "darn cat" but nonetheless has a nice bureaucratic ring to it. Quite appropriate, since D.C. is soon to be photographed and paw-printed, and have federal investigators on his tail. They are interested because he came home wearing a wristwatch, which may have been slipped around his neck by a kidnaped lady bank teller (Grayson Hall). Suppose the teller is right in the neighborhood? Suppose a pair of psychotic holdup men (Frank Gorshin, Neville Brand) are itching to do away...
