...screen will be put on sale by Motorola Inc. New suitcase-size model is first big-screen transistorized portable. It weighs 40 Ibs., including a 5-lb. energy cell that provides five to six hours' operation, can be recharged up to 500 times from regular electrical outlet. Price...
...abundant evidence that Lapidus is a disciple of excess. With freewheeling showmanship, he is trying to develop an "alphabet of ornament" that will provoke an emotional revolt against the austerity of modern architecture. In the midway atmosphere of Miami Beach and other resort areas, Lapidus, 57, finds the perfect outlet for the "new sensuality" expressed in his terrazzoed palazzos.

Then, 1,500 miles inland, the British-controlled Rhodesian Federation was talking of annexing the Congo's Katanga province, which produces 60% of Congo wealth from a mineral-rich (copper, cobalt, diamonds, uranium) strip lying directly to the north of the Rhodesias...
...angry Dallas newsmen outside the two-story brick house at 6116 Gaston Avenue, Edmund Barker, news director of radio-TV station KRLD, the local CBS outlet, seemed a traitor to the reportorial trade. Standing beside Barker on the front porch was gaunt, tearful Frances Spears, wife of fugitive Naturopath Robert Vernon Spears (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). When the other reporters tried to question Mrs. Spears, Barker shooed them away, ushered her back into the house, explaining: "Her kids have to have a bath."
