sessions with his silver Parker pen and yellow legal pads. He was out there again last week when he spoke on the Inaugural stand in his club coat and striped trousers. He had surveyed the landscape beyond the day and marked the way stations: the start of his generation of peace, a prospering nation, a less extravagant government and a new spirit of individuality and competition...
College journalism has a borrowed vice. Young men, getting a pen into their hands, use it recklessly in spite of the warning of good taste. They forget that they pretend to be gentlemen, hence unpleasant contests. Hard words, we believe, should be eserved for those cases where men wilfully persist in wrong action. Such cases, it is needless to say, rarely occur in college. It is an evil of the same kind, though not of the same degree, to try to convince by epithets, as to have recourse to bowie-knife and revolver when the pen has failed...
...ASPEN, COLO. Two hundred tricky miles west of Denver, Aspen- the world's largest ski resort-has four mountains. Buttermilk (9,720 ft.) caters to novices; Snowmass (10,645) and As pen Highlands (11,665) are for inter mediates; Aspen Mountain (11,212) is for experts. Aspen is a skier's town.

Today the cheapest throwaway Bic sells for less than that in France-about 7?. In the U.S. the same pen retails for 19?, and it is the biggest seller on the market...
...provides Bic with about half of its $91 million yearly volume, much of which comes from the new Bic Banana, a fine-line carbon-tip marker that writes like a "felt" pen but is not as durable. Bic claims that in just over six months since it was brought out in the U.S., the 29? Banana has become the nation's No. 2 seller in the fine-line marker field, after Papermate's 49? Flair. In January or February next year, Bic will introduce packs of Bananas in combinations of colors; a five-pack will sell...
