...from Sawdust. Behind Boise Cascade's swift success is its president, Robert V. Hansberger, 43, a balding, farm-born graduate of the University of Minnesota and Harvard Business School ('47). Hansberger, who looks a little like Yul Brynner, was summoned to rescue struggling Boise Cascade in 1957 on the strength of his success in setting up and profitably running his own small paper mill in Oregon. With sales of $53 million, Boise Cascade was then too small to build a pulp plant to utilize the waste wood chips and sawdust that it was simply burning up. Hansberger merged...
Help for Milquetoast. Polyethylene film has been used for years by truck farmers and up-to-the-minute home gardeners as a replacement for such traditional mulches as straw or sawdust. Spread on the ground in early spring, it has doubled the yield of tomatoes, squash or muskmelons. But as long as it had to be laid out by hand, it was far too expensive for such big-time crops as cotton. And cotton, which is one of the milquetoasts of the plant world, cries out for all the help...
...five. Tony Yates is the best defensive player in the country. Tom Thacker is the tallest 6 ft. 2 in. man in the country. Ron Bonham is Cincinnati's best shooter since Oscar Robertson.

Cincinnati's deliberate style does not make them an exciting team to watch--but they win ball games...
Through the Sawdust. Beyond any question, the characters and central incident of Robbins' new novel, Where Love Has Gone, are those of the pitiful 1958 murder case in which Cheryl Crane, Lana Turner's daughter, killed Johnny Stompanato, her mother's lover. As usual, some of the details are disguised and some patently fallacious: the mother, for instance, is a beautiful, rich sculptress instead of an actress. Also as usual, the disguises will fool no one, nor are they intended to. Legions of innocents will pick through Robbins' sawdust prose translating "Dani Carey" to Cheryl Crane...
...appeared, proprietors are becoming aware of the huge clientele that awaits those who create a suitable atmosphere for teenagers. In New York, where the drinking age (18) is low enough to gain teen-agers entrance to many nightclubs, the Cafe Bizarre, a Greenwich Village coffeehouse that serves soft drinks, sawdust and beat poets at reasonable prices, aims for "armies and armies of young people," but refuses to label itself a teen-age club "because the phrase has a smell to it." Chicago's Fickle Pickle, a dark, clean rathskeller-type cafe, is a favorite...
