...Estimate and the City Council overrode the Mayor's veto, passing an appropriations bill without funds for the little city halls. (It was the first time anyone could remember in recent history that a mayor's veto had been over-riden.) But the Mayor is having the last quiet chuckle on that issue by setting up the complaint centers on private money: the first was opened in East New York after the July riot...

President Pusey, at first, was not an eager proponent of the plan. To understand why, one must survey what Pusey has tried to do since taking office in 1953.

"It's all right," said John...

Mrs. Dennett, ex-wife of the late Raymond Dennett, a former director of the World Peace Foundation, took the stand to give evidence in a quiet voice. While she fought back tears, she identified a letter that her daughter had written on the morning of the day of her death. Peverley had spoken of the planned picnic, chatted about some ducks they had as pets and about beautiful African violets she had found. She added that Bill...
