Over at Eagle Shirtmakers, Inc. in Quakertown, Pa., the boardroom boys fretted over an industry shortcoming: too many clothing manufacturers cloak colors with such drably unimaginative names as dark blue or light tan. Eagle proposed a contest for more colorful descriptions, as a starter suggested navel orange and whizzer white. Along Madison Avenue, and in Mineola, Mamaroneck and Montclair, the game caught on. Eagle has been deluged with a chromatic list of imaginative new colors. Among them: gang green, forever amber, sick bay, hash brown, dorian grey, hi ho silver and statutory grape.

"She gossips continuously about others, blackmails them, hollers about other people's complexes, but remains turned in on herself. One hates her." To all this, there was only one thing to say, and Cartoonist Schulz...
...colleagues want data that can be applied to all premature babies, they are studying an average run of preemies. Most are normal except for their size, though last week one had to be fed by a tube leading directly into its stomach through an incision above the navel. It hiccuped constantly, prompting a nurse to remark: "That ruins the theory that eating and swallowing air cause hiccups -that little fellow never swallowed anything in his life...
