...least in so virulent a form. On the contrary, the generally permissive reception accorded last week's demonstrations suggests that the American electorate has matured considerably since the hagridden, self-doubting days of the early 1950s. There is a danger, nonetheless, that continuing and escalating disorders on the pattern of last week's outbursts could lead not to a freer and more constructive dialogue about the direction of U.S. foreign policy but to an increasingly emotional standoff between intransigent extremes. That outcome, for all the efforts of the peacemakers, would no more advance the cause of tranquillity...
...general pattern, says the California report, is for the user to inject methedrine into a vein about every two hours around the clock. He stays awake continuously for three to six days-sometimes as long as twelve days. Appetite for food is suppressed completely during this time, and there is a compulsion for constant action.

Pontiac is selling twice as many big models as smaller Tempests and Firebirds. Full-sized Oldsmobiles sold twice as fast as intermediate F-85s. One of the best salesmen was G.M.'s first Ne gro dealer, Albert W. Johnson, 46, of Chicago.* A former St. Louis...
...Bersin, a former defensive middle guard, is now recognized as one of the best in the East. Tom Jones and Ted Skowronski seem to be following a similar pattern of improvement in the other guard spot. They both have sprung halfbacks free for long touchdown runs this year on wide plays...
