...last week, "I'd be out stealing hubcaps." For the ordinary teen-agers with less tendency to delinquency, the clubs' value is more positive: like San Francisco's Claudia French, teen-agers across the U.S. are finding food, fun and, most important, friends under one companionable roof, designed especially for them...
...injuries-the tunnel was a handsome triumph over monumental hazards. The Italians began in January 1959, eight months before the French, but soon lost the advantage of their head start, for the glacier-squeezed southern Alpine rock was dangerously brittle, collapsed regularly, requiring extra bracing for the tunnel roof; cascades of underground water often streamed into the tunnel, almost drowning drillers under subterranean waterfalls.

Though he prefers keeping research and teaching under one roof, Chicago's Chancellor Beadle is impressed by the system in Britain, where medical research units work off-campus, "free of teaching chores and administration overhead."

The compact VALIANT is chunkier than in '62 (and looks more like Rambler's successful American); and Dodge's compact LANCER, instead of being a look-alike to the Valiant, is more...
