Paul Sullivan in the number one spot easily overcome a potentially dangerous Peyton Howard, 6-3, 6-1. Sullivan, the team captain, is probably the fastest player on Barnaby's squad and depends on quick, good net play rather than a powerful serve for his victories. Howard was just unable to get the ball past the Crimson star who played flawless ball and took advantage of every mistake Howard made...
...father Silenus are two really engaging comic characters you won't forget: Bacchus (who is crowned with myrtle, but wears shades and is hip) is William Keough, who is almost as good as Allan Mandel, the drunken old God who gives imitations of Mars trapped in the net at parties, and who chases sea nymphs.

In his drive to alleviate the textile maker's troubles, President Kennedy has promised some sensible measures, including bigger depreciation allowances on textile machinery and a Government-aided research program. But by piling on trade barriers to offset export subsidies to offset price supports, the net effect of his textile program will surely be to remove the industry farther than ever from the conditions of free competition. As for the strong medicine that would help the most-ending the whole costly absurdity of cotton props- that is a remedy that no Administration has dared hint...
