...shafted or jabbed, barbed by the purple shaft or the maroon harpoon. In despair he feels clanked or clutched. He has a similar feeling if a girl merely keeps him in the club (dates many boys and favors none), though it is only fair to add that such girls often end up clawing the wall ("whatever that means," Dr. Boone says delicately...
...number of first-class, tax-supported hospitals. To younger elements in N.M.A. leadership, these gains brought a new challenge. Says Washington's Dr. Edward C. Mazique, 48, installed as president last week: "Few Negro physicians can attend well-planned postgraduate courses. In rural areas and small towns they often cannot call in another M.D. to take over their practice for a few weeks. The N.M.A. is offering a compressed substitute...
...angel with a brush. The first three charges rest on the petty court records of Haarlem, Holland, the last on about 300 paintings scattered throughout the world. The court records show a sorry existence, the paintings a radiant one. Hals's life was both.

Even WAPE's checks are decorated with the simian image-along with a brief message from the keepers: "We will welcome your saving this check as a souvenir...
...well. He collects paintings (about 100 by Gainsborough, Bonnard, Vlaminck, etc.), houses (a Fifth Avenue duplex, an estate on the Hudson, a 15-room summer home on Fishers Island-a millionaire's retreat 135 miles from New York), cars (a Bentley, a Cadillac, four others). He loves speed, often commutes in his fast 65-ft. aluminum P-T boat to his office in the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center (of which he is chairman). He enjoys muscle-straining outdoor exercise, chops wood regularly. And he does not worry about his investments. Last week's plunge of space...
