...larger. Birch Society posters recommend impeaching Earl Warren. Teen-age motorcyclists ride across the lawn and drink on Wilson's porch, forcing him to scare them away "with a roar and the ancient gun that a Civil War collector in Boonville had offered to buy as a relic...
Imperialist Relic. Hotels in China's Big Three tourist cities are something less than Hiltonish. Peking's Hsin Chiao (New Sojourn) Hotel has scantily furnished but adequately comfortable rooms, most with bath, for the equivalent of $5 a day. while Shanghai's Hoping (Peace) Hotel charges roughly the same.

Davis, 30, who is a veteran of the peace wars and one of the Chicago Seven, met with some resistance as he gathered his cadres.

Despite its staggering growth, El Monte oddly manages to retain a small-town atmosphere. It could be a relic from a blue-collar edition of Norman Rockwell's America. The pace in El Monte is just a bit slower than in Los Angeles, the people are just a bit friendlier. Hands dirtied by honest work are still a badge of honor. Few people drink at lunch: television is the usual evening entertainment. The merchants run their own stores, and when they talk, city hall listens...
