After seven games of a losing streak that knocked the National League-leading Los Angeles Dodgers back into second place, the gloom of players, fans, and sympathetic local sportswriters was slightly thicker than the city's smog. But in the Los Angeles Times, Sports Columnist James Murray could regard the home team's travail with wry humor. "What was happening to the Dodgers," wrote Murray, "could only be described as a slump if you think of what happened to General Custer as a slump. I have seen happier people on the end of a rope than the Dodgers...
Cussed Commuter. These confections are only lightly dusted with news-a fair share of it borrowed. "The afternoon papers," says Post Columnist Murray Kempton, "are only poor morning papers delivered in the afternoon. Every afternoon paper in New York is written out of the Times and the News-though they do pick up slightly as the day goes on." Now and then, one of the evening dailies bestirs itself to launch a crusade, e.g., the World-Telegram's recent series on slum landlords and university-student cheating. But such enterprise is rare. More characteristic is the Post...
Died. Thomas Edward Murray, 69, outspoken Democratic member of the Atomic Energy Commission (1950-57), who upheld the AEC's 4-1 "no confidence" vote against Physicist J.

Pachangas have poured into the jukeboxes in Latin American neighborhoods and into record shops everywhere; across the nation the hopeful hip are beginning to ask for lessons. In Manhattan, the Astaire Studios and Arthur Murray's were offering instruction up to the Ph.D. level, including such variations as the Under Arm Step, the Indian Hop, and the Kennedy Stomp. But even the experts still seemed somewhat confused. "The Pachanga," Arthur Murray pronounced sagely, "is gay and fun and sexless." Clearly, Murray had been watching the Palladium's handkerchiefs, not its skirts...
...independent research and reporting, TIME has gone behind the headlines to explore the roots of current religious thought. Typical of its thoroughness have been two cover stories, one on Christian missionaries from St. Paul to 1960 (April 18, 1960), another on U.S. Catholics and the State (John Courtney Murray, Dec. 12, 1960). Both are examples of the splendid method in which TIME has sought to bring the wider perspective of history to contemporary religious action and issues...
