...scheduled for July 20, but it was also vastly more than that. This close approach to a planet's familiar satellite was, in a more remote sense, a step toward the planets themselves. Through the first color telecast from space and massive coverage by TV, radio and the press, a worldwide audience vicariously shared the astronauts' excitement and exuberance, the tension and terror, the close-up views of the stark and rugged moonscape. Yet there was a lighthearted air to the whole adventure, complete with jokes, corn pone and two spaceships named Charlie Brown and Snoopy, after...
...brought it a readership well beyond the borders of Idaho - it has subscribers in 41 states, including many politicians in Washington. In a praiseful article, the Columbia Journalism Review noted that the Observer "comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable." Afflicting the comfortable produces advertising cancellations as well as press-association awards; last year the paper lost $4,000 on a gross income of $51 ,000.

Since then he has spent most of his career specializing in antitrust cases at the Chicago firm of Chadwell, Keck, Kayser, Ruggles and McLaren. As head of the American Bar Association's Antitrust Law Section since 1967, he updated a 1955 report on antitrust activities, and was recommended by his colleagues as an unusually well...
...dormitory so as to decrease the number of forfeits. This seems clumsy. There is little question that there could be an improvement in organization through the efforts of all involved--athletic secretaries, proctors, Floyd Wilson, and Rufus Peebles. And somehow interest must be stirred up. Perhaps more promotion, including press coverage, would help in that direction. At any rate Wilson and his advisors, if there are any, had better take stock of the situation and then take action because a good intramural program is worth having...
