Governor Wallace, one of Johnson's classmates at the University of Alabama Law School, has called him rash, headstrong, vindictive, unstable, erratic, and demanded his impeachment. Even so, Johnson has come in for surprisingly little abuse. The mail brings only about a dozen nasty letters a week (he never replies). None of the old friends he values have cut him. Two boys once burned a cross on the front lawn of his house, but to the judge that was only a boyish prank rather than an attempt to intimidate...
...past two years, Harvard has had slumps after exams though it has usualy managed to avoid losses. Coach Cooney Weiland admits the slump is worse this year, but feels it is the product of a rash of bad breaks. The two losses earlier last week, "games which could have gone either way," inevitably caused a let-down. Thus against Dartmouth, "it was just one of those things.

Technically Simple. The Minneapolis surgeons do not try to make a substitute ileocecal valve; it would be too difficult, they say, and it does not seem to be necessary. The operation is technically simple, but to guard against a rash of premature operations performed unwisely all over the country, Dr. Buchwald emphasized that surgical teams in university medical centers should keep a monopoly on the procedure for a few years. It will take at least a year, he said, to be sure that the operation's effectiveness in lowering blood cholesterol is reasonably permanent, and four or five years...
...editor, Emile Gauvreau,* to implement the pledge of "90% entertainment and 10% news." Gauvreau accumulated circulation "by pushing into the back of my mind all that I had learned about the value of constructive news" and by studying the techniques of the News. The Mirror continued to reflect a rash of stunts calculated to hook the reader: Yo-Yo contests, picture puzzles, yards of crime coverage in an era when New York streets rang with the din of gang wars. By 1932, Mirror circulation passed 500,000. But the News passed...
