Roof Water. In Unityville, S. Dak., a twelve-family hamlet 42 miles northwest of Sioux Falls, Mrs. Alice Lundberg, 36, drives her white '59 Mercury eight miles from her farmhouse each morning to reach the white wooden schoolhouse by 7:45 a.m. Alone in the 28-ft. by 25-ft. classroom, she spends 80 minutes plotting the day's 36 separate topics for her 17 pupils, who come from seven nearby farm families. She teaches them on six grade levels, from first to eighth (she has no sixth and seventh graders). The 68-year-old school is surrounded...

To process without computers the flood of checks that will be circulating in the U.S. by 1970, banks would have to hire all the American women between 21 and 45. If all the computers went on the blink, the country...
...Norton (Boston Record) spoke of his "huge voice of great resonance," and later expanded his praise extensively in his half-hour TV discussion of the show. The show's two stars each wore a body microphone in order to be heard, but Price neither used nor needed one to reach every nook of the mamouth cavern that is the Shubert Theatre...
