...show parcels out $5,000 in cash to each of four contestants to bid for the clues they wish to buy. The clues, in the form of rhymed couplets ("Morning, noon and night, you'll find me tight") may help the player guess the identity of an object silhouetted behind a scrim curtain (in this case, an electric light socket). Other times, the clues, and an accompanying cartoon, may refer to persons or sayings. The program is somewhat complicated by such intramural banking as selling one's clues in midshow for a $1,000 consolation prize. The prizes...

He proposed the creation of a larger and really effective U.N. team, which would permit the U.S. to withdraw its troops with some assurance that the independence and integrity of Lebanon would be preserved. If the Russians were really concerned about getting U.S. troops withdrawn, they could hardly object. But who could say that this was what the Russians were really interested...
...National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that the bill ought to go through the normal committee channel. If sent to committee so late in the session, the bill would die there, and that is just what the N.A.M. and the Chamber want.

(As I understand the parade, the children march around the room, dropping pennies in the mission bank until they run out of funds, the object being, of course, to stay on their feet.) For the upper grades, the approach is more subtle. You forgot your tie? Put a quarter in the bank or stay after school. And this is really ingenious: Sister 'sells' the desks to the class by way of an auction...
...gathered a who's who of art, from black-tied sponsors to shaggy bohemians. The reception committee numbered 50 strong, ranged alphabetically from the Association of San Francisco Potters to the World Affairs Council. Sitting nervously on the stage, and at times close to tears, was the object of this outpouring of affection: durable, forthright Dr. Grace Louise McCann Morley, 57 (TIME, Feb. 28, 1955). Dr. Morley, the most respected woman museum director in the U.S., and the dominant spokesman for contemporary art on the West Coast, was retiring after 23 years as director of the San Francisco Museum...
