...habit of Shigeru Miyoshi, 41, a foundry foreman, and Saburo Goto, 44, a druggist, to go fishing on Sundays. On this particular Sunday the catch was good-a basket of squirming silver carp-and Goto suggested a drink to celebrate. Reluctantly, Miyoshi declined. He was due on the foundry night shift. The two parted, never to see each other again. At 8:15 the next morning, Aug. 6, 1945, the atomic bomb exploded 1,870 ft. over Hiroshima...
...feet up and three miles out to sea. No doubling up to reduce charter fees, either: no more than one loved one may be strewn per flight. Keeping Uncle's ashes in an urn on the mantelpiece, next to the pewter sconces and Aunt Sadie's silver-framed portrait, is currently a misdemeanor under California...

...interesting study in Hollywood exploitation, a classic "rip-off," as kids these days refer to robbery. The film makers ignored the issue of campus politics (the one real revolutionary is portrayed as a speed freak who wears an eye patch and talks like a paranoid Long John Silver), and produced something that might be called Andy Hardy Gets Busted. A few more films like Getting Straight (TIME, May 18) and The Strawberry Statement, and students may begin occupying what is left of MGM's offices instead of the campus administration building...
