Straining Dignity. While the Warren court mulls over such potential blockbusters, many a free-swinging legal pundit is gossiping that two of the great activists may soon quit-Justice Hugo Black, because he is now past 80, and Justice William O. Douglas, because he has supposedly strained court dignity by taking a fourth wife of 23. Knowledgeable court watchers will have to see it to believe it.

Recuperating from his injuries, Honda conceived plans for his own motor company, soon began manufacturing piston rings for autos, naval vessels and planes...
...numbers of Democrats will not support a "backlash" candidate. But in New Hampshire, retired Air Force General Harrison Thyng, the most patent right-winger of the lot, has a good chance to capture the seat held by New Hampshire's first Democratic Senator in decades, Thomas MacIntyre. Thyng, who quit the Air Force to run in the Republican primary at the behest of right-wing publisher William Loeb, scored a narrow victory over divided moderate opposition, state party chairman William Johnson and ex-governor Wesley Powell. Thyng opposed civil rights legislation and foreign aid and insisted that increased conventional bombing...
