...rousing than Mrs. Hicks' emotional pitch. The largely ceremonial post of secretary of state, which he won in 1960, has given him little experience in close political combat. Thus White's hope to win in November is mainly a matter of arithmetic. If he collects the major share of the votes that went to the eight also-rans in the primary and gets solid Negro backing, the Hicks' primary plurality of 12,933 out of a total vote of 155,000 would evaporate...
...strong was his love for the sport that last summer he persuaded his brown-haired bride Rickie, 22, to share it with him. Her first jump was perfect, though she laughed about landing in a mud puddle. The second time up, last August, she left the plane in a bad body position-back arched toward the ground. Rickie became entangled in her main chute lines, her reserve chute snarled and, as John Wasik watched from the ground, she fell to her death...
...gloomy beginning to a meeting that many Catholics regard as a real test of how willing church leaders are to extend the accomplishments of the Second Vatican Council. Specifically, the synod represents the first real test of collegiality-the democratic notion, adopted by Vatican II, that the bishops collectively share ruling power with the Pope.

...Within hours of the A.M.C. announcement, Chrysler trimmed the average $133 increase that it had set two weeks earlier to $101. The Chrysler shuffle, however, was less a reaction to the A.M.C. price schedule than an effort to get back in step with General Motors, which has a 53% share of the U.S. auto market and generally controls price trends. Both Ford and Chrysler set their prices before G.M. last year, only to be forced to double back when the leader came out later with a smaller increase. This time G.M. followed Chrysler's original 4.6% increase with...
...thinking big and moving fast. Founder-Chairman Henry E. Singleton, 50, who keeps a blackboard in his office for rapid-fire chalk talks on the intricacies of his company, obviously believes that those with whom Teledyne deals should move fast too. Earlier this month, Teledyne offered $40 a share for 7,500,000 outstanding shares of United Insurance Co. of America (assets: $303 million). United stock was then selling at $27. Last week, apparently because directors of the Chicago-based life, health and accident company were taking too long to make up their minds, Singleton changed the terms. With United...
