Amazing Resilience. His wearing day was still far from done. He had promised to speak at Salisbury (pop. 20,000), N.C. (site of the famed early-morning back-platform campaign photograph of Ike and Mamie in their dressing gowns), and he insisted on keeping the engagement. Late that afternoon, the Columbine landed at Charlotte. Ike was driven 40 miles along crowd-lined roads, spoke for eight minutes before 12,000 people-gathered to celebrate the 200th anniversary of North Carolina's Rowan County-and drove 40 miles more to Winston-Salem, where the Columbine was waiting...

Haffa, who had begun his career as a newsboy a block from the building, was shocked and contrite. He promised to turn the site into a playground as a memorial to the dead...
Rescuers. Grey Eagle had an ace up his sleeve. Both the old burial site in North Dakota and the new one in South Dakota are within Standing Rock Indian Reservation and thus on federal land.

...days of lethargy, of card games and of leisurely manning of marker balloons and searchlights at the Panmunjom truce-talk site were over.

Working like beavers, U.N. crews rapidly set up a processing center and a mobile surgical hospital. The hospital staff ran through a practice drill. In cases of malnutrition, the medical people were ready to stuff the returnees with calories and vitamins. Every available helicopter was standing by; two hospital ships, one U.S. and one Danish, were anchored...
...real significance of the Barrow expedition lies in the finds which the Peabody Museum group made. As a result of the expeditions the last two summers and the one to be taken this summer, the first systematic report of the ancient village site will be prepared. Carter said that the report will take two years to complete. Although the ancient Eskimo village sites at Point Barrow have been known to scholars since 1912, no good report of them has been made thus far. The present project has revealed discoveries which show a definite culture sequence in the area...
