...only 40% of the seats in the House of Representatives during the 1962 mid-term election, even though they collected 48% of the votes. Last year, after nearly two-thirds of the states had redrawn their congressional districts to make them more nearly equal in population, Republicans increased their share of House seats to 43% while increasing their share of the vote only to 48.3%. Roughly a dozen states are still at work reapportioning their congressional districts; only last week, a federal court threw out a 1966 redistricting plan adopted by New York and ordered the state to draw...
Webb did testify that North American's share of the $23 billion Apollo project is being cut back. The California-based firm will continue as prime contractor, while Boeing has been selected to put together the spacecraft and the rocket boosters; a third firm will be chosen to make custom modifications on the 16 standardized capsules to be produced by North American under the original contract. "In this way," he added, "North American will be spending all its time on one standardized spacecraft without any outside distractions...
Everyone knows Ben Jonson, Tennyson and Wordsworth, but who ever heard of Nahum Tate, Laurence Eusden, and William Whitehead? All six men share the dignity of having been poets laureate of England, a tradition that goes back 350 years.

But the Indianapolis Speedway has turns that are banked 9°-just as they were 56 years ago, when the first Memorial Day 500 was won at 74 m.p.h. It is no surprise that 30 drivers have lost their lives at Indy. What is remarkable is that last week, practicing for this month's 500, drivers were turning 170 m.p.h. laps and though twelve crashed, none was killed...
...that exchange, Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney sum up the film that follows: an adult bedtime story of a couple whose union is constantly going on strike. Abandoning the Givenchy school and the elfin cool, Hepburn is surprisingly good as a Virginia Woolf-cub who has earned her share of scars in the jungle war between the sexes. As her mate, a self-centered architect, Finney is not so fortunate, and seems curiously unsympathetic in helping to turn his marriage into a fray-for-all. Happily, whenever the strife skitters closer to tragedy than comedy, Director Stanley Donen takes...
