...Drop to Drink. Also at the center have been two women, not subject to the draft but giving a year's service at the behest of their churches: 24-year-old Ruth Hepner (Assemblies of God) of Hamilton. Mont, and 22-year-old Florence Shetler (Brethren) of Robinson, Pa.

At Montana State University Allen barely skinned through. It was not until he went east to Harvard Law School (class of '25) that he decided to work hard for the first time...

CBS, with the most daytime-sponsor bookings at stake, took the stand that televiewers ought to have a choice of entertainment ("Not everybody wants to get in on the McCarthy fight"), and confined itself to Morning Show and late-at-night filmed highlights. After a look at the ratings, NBC this week announced that it would substitute filmed summaries for the real thing. The first two days, reported the network, had cost it more than $125,000 in canceled commercial programs. ABC, with some 50 stations...
