...Died. Rear Admiral Daniel V. Gallery (ret.), 75, valorous World War II carrier commander; after a long illness; in Bethesda, Md. While commanding the escort carrier U.S.S. Guadalcanal in 1944, Gallery captured and took in tow a German submarine off the coast of French West Africa; it was the first enemy warship to be so nabbed by the U.S. Navy on the high seas since...
...guided their noble deeds? Martin King, Jr.--like most Black people born before 1964--just 13 years ago--spent his early life being seared and seared by signs. His daily life was greeted or haunted by signs which read: "No Colored Allowed," "White Only," "Colored Service in the Rear," "White Ladies," "Men," "Women," and "Negroes...
...Rear Window. Probably the most difficult thing for me is to choose only one Hitchcock film. So many are fabulous, especially from the 50s (North by Northwest, Vertigo, and Strangers on a Train).

Nor was the U.S. successful in pushing for the adoption of rules requiring newly constructed tankers to have double bottoms. Such a construction feature is now mandatory...
...Second Jewish Catalog, with an appendix called The Jewish Yellow Pages, is crammed with practical advice on such matters as weaving Passover tablecloths, organizing a bar mitzvah (with hints for writing your own ceremony) and proper behavior in a synagogue (sit up front for serious prayer, toward the rear for socializing). There are chapters on Jewish folk dancing and starting a Judaica stamp collection and a brief course of instruction on liturgical chanting. The yellow-page directory lists kosher candy stores, Yiddish record shops and Jewish genealogical-research services. Do you want to crochet a woolen serving basket for matzo...
