...Heart Is a Home. Bovard's style of journalism was carried on with the same driving, unsentimental tenacity by burly, hard-boiled Managing Editor Ben Reese, who retired in 1951, and now by a milder-mannered crusader, Raymond L. Crowley, 58, a staffer for 31 years and, like both Reese and Bovard, a longtime city editor. Over the P-D's 1,650-man staff is the paper's, unchallenged boss, Joseph Pulitzer II, 68, who, like his late father, has long suffered from failing eyesight; he keeps a battery of secretaries reading the paper...
...Near Holbrook, Ariz., one Carl J. Folk, 60, a burly (215 lbs., 6 ft.) carnival operator, invaded a roadside trailer and tied up Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Allen, a young Pennsylvania couple who were parked there for the night. He raped Allen's wife, set fire to her hair and seared her body with burning newspapers. After five hours of torture, he choked her to death.

The scholarships will be "definitely not athletic." Said Ty: "I missed something in life . . . I can get awfully sentimental about something like this. I can cry, too. It runs in my family...
...when a nearly complete lower jaw of Australopithecus prometheus was found at Makapansgat in the Transvaal this month. Anthropologists now have most of the skull parts (from different individuals) of a "proto-man" who probably lived one million years ago, along with saber-toothed tigers and giant hyenas. Professor Raymond A. Dart of Witwatersrand University gave Prometheus his name because some of his bones contained free carbon, which indicates that they had been burned, and hints at the use of fire...
