...Vietnamese with protein. Housing is so short that many of the refugees can find no quarters at all and must sleep in the open. Many others have been displaced before. Some 6,000 villagers burned out in Phu Yen province last week were victims of another Viet Cong fire raid only six months ago. Unless the Viet Cong are checked, it could happen again...
...Murrow began in 1939. "Often the British are insular, but their determination must be recorded," he said, and so he did all through the war, never more memorably than by placing his microphone near the sidewalk to catch the unhurried footsteps of Londoners walking calmly to the air-raid shelters. Last week Lon don was calling again, this time to tell Murrow, 56, that Britons will know him as Sir Edward from now on. Queen Elizabeth made him an honorary knight commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, in recognition of his furtherance of Anglo-American understanding...
Alabamian Black's home state has, in fact, something more than "now and then" stills. The feds broke up 1,059 stills there last year, made 619 arrests in the process.

It's like living with the air-raid sirens on for months at a time. Each person is undergoing an intense private experience without the consolation of privacy-he is part of a very excited crowd, yet he is alone...
Youngest V.P. Braniff's board chairman, Dallas Financier Troy Post, had planned his raid well. Even before his Greatamerica Corp. bought control of Braniff last summer and installed him as chairman, he had carefully compared Braniff's record with those of five other airlines of comparable size. His finding: Continental had grown faster than all the others-a remarkable 545% in the last ten years. Further study led him directly to Lawrence, who is largely responsible for Continental's record of quality service, imaginative promotion, low costs, on-time performance and efficient use of jets...
