...idle political pledge when Los Angeles Mayor Samuel Yorty threatened: "I haven't let loose on him yet." Yorty's target is City Councilman Thomas Bradley, 51, a black lawyer and former police lieutenant who had outdrawn the mayor 42% to 26% in the April 1 mayoral primary.-With a runoff election next week, Bradley has a sizable lead; a recent poll found voters lined up 52% for Bradley, 35% for Yorty. One result is that Yorty, 59, has been waging a desperate, often venomous campaign against Bradley...
...York City who heads the Mobil oil company. With the exception of the youngest Fellow, Hugh Calkins from Cleveland, the Fellows maintain nearly identical life-styles in a select and self-contained world.

By 1861, there were nine main varieties of Colt revolvers (mostly known as "Peacemakers" or "hog-legs") in use on the frontier. They constituted the most dramatic revolution in sheer firepower since the invention of the musket. Colt revolvers were fast and reliable. In superior hands they could regularly hit a five-inch circle at 50 yards. At 100 yards, the Peacemaker could drive a bullet more than three inches into a pine plank. With such a weapon...
...labeled the intruders "stormtroopers." Undoubtedly, as Miss Hodes says, the bulk of the intruders were students somewhere. A few, I know, were Harvard students. That they presumably had some intelligence makes all the more inexcusable their blatant violation of the right of others to meet together peacefully and privately. Samuel P. Huntington Frank G.
