Surprisingly, the nudge for the new fares came from the U.S. nonscheduled airlines. As of last week nine of the biggest, led by World Airways of Oak land, Calif., have CAB permission to charter planes for all-expense, "inclusive tours" outside the U.S. They will be set up by travel agents and sold to all comers at a package price that could be cheaper than the Pan Am plan...
...Just as we would forgive the earthworm for not knowing that the roots, trunk and leaves of the oak tree are really one entity, so must we forgive Bishop Pike if he cannot see that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are really one. Please, no trial. The bishop is neither heretic nor prophet-simply out of his depth...
Jersey No. 42. At the Shrine of the Little Flower High School in Royal Oak, Mich., about five miles north of Detroit, Football Coach Al Fracassa announced last week that he was retiring No. 42, the blue and gold jersey worn by "the greatest athlete I've seen in ten years of coaching."

Son of a permissive, well-to-do oil-company executive, Jim had a more than ordinarily comfortable childhood: big, luxurious house, backyard swimming pool, a guitar...

In the public gardens beside the South African House of Assembly, brown squirrels scampered through the oak trees, and white men lazed comfortably on the benches marked "Europeans Only."

Verwoerd...
Slicing through the rolling countryside near Palo Alto, and flanked by newly planted oak and eucalyptus trees, the low, two-mile-long structure could easily be mistaken for a new link in California's growing network of freeways. Instead of automobiles, however, it will handle streams of speeding electrons. It is Stanford University's linear accelerator, the newest tool in one of the newest and fastest-growing disciplines of science, high-energy physics. When it achieves full power and goes into operation this fall, the largest atom smasher in the world will give man a closer look...
