Scanning the returns. Michiganders soon realized that nobody had won bigger than Soapy Williams himself. By rounding out his organization and demonstrating his vote-pulling possibilities in 1957, the governor had shown that he is a safe bet to win a sixth term in 1958 and to get national attention in 1960. Some Williams fans even had their 1960 Democratic slate all ready to go: liberal Midwestern Governor G. Mennen Williams for President, and Eastern (Massachusetts), more conservative U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy for Vice President...

Whether it also, as the Yale Dramatic Association hoped, stimulateed college dramatic activity must remain somewhat open to question.

U.S. and Iranian planes crisscrossed the desert to warn the bandits the hunt was on and to give hope to Mrs. Carroll...
Many a plastic surgeon thumbing through a handsome, two-volume medical work last week was startled to find, under the unscientific heading, "Oops!", this homely advice: "Once a graft has been cut, it should be folded, wrapped in a damp gauze and put in a safe place until time for its application. Too often in its trip around the theatre it gets thrown in the wastebucket or dropped on the floor. Pick it up. wash it and get on with the job. It happens in the best of clinics!"
