...going back to school because" contest conducted by radio station WIND, Chicago [TIME, Sept. 8], is heartening and timely. Ellen Goldsmith of suburban Glencoe, Ill. was the $100 grand prize winner. She is 14 and a high school freshman. Ellen is no egghead: she is active in scouting, athletic, a topflight camper, loves to jitterbug and is studying piano. I am a proud grandpa...

Lambard, a radio air control officer stationed in Guam, was yanked out of bed and ordered to pack his gear at 2 a.m. Air Force Brigadier General Avelin P. Tacon was flagged down by state police on a California highway. To General Tacon's intense surprise, the cops showed no interest in the fact that he was doing 70 in a 55-mile-an-hour zone.
