Quite a turnabout, indeed, for a team that sold only 1,914 season tickets in 1961, and never has enjoyed a winning season in its six-year history. The turnabout is especially sweet for Don Meredith, 28, who has been a Cowboys' quarterback ever since he graduated from Southern Methodist in 1960-and has taken the brunt of the fans' abuse...
Some of Javits' friends consider him dotty even to try. He will be 64 at the next convention, close to the acceptable age limit even for a Vice President. One of the greatest votegetters in New York State's history, he is a shoo-in for a third six-year Senate term in 1968. Though a member of the minority party and something of a maverick, whose abrasiveness and hustle have always barred him from the Senate's cozy inner establishment, he has achieved rare respect and stature by force of intellect, diligence and integrity...
...this left the Democrats in worse shape than ever. Carl Sanders, the incumbent Democratic Governor, is prevented by Georgia's constitution from succeeding himself. The leading contender for the nomination had been Ernest Vandiver, a former Governor, but a six-year history of coronary-artery disease and several recent attacks of angina pectoris forced him to withdraw.

Just about everything, according to a six-year, $100,000 study just completed by Cornell University. And the worst offender of all is that old unmentionable, the toilet. Not only has it not changed basically since plumbing began to move indoors, but it remains "the most ill-suited fixture ever designed." The most natural position, Architecture Professor Alexander Kira and his four assistants discovered after exhaustive research, is squatting. "We may think it is outrageous to squat," says Kira, "but most of the world squats. It is more natural and easier on the body...
...Over the six-year period, more than 47 million passenger cars were manufactured, and so, as Ribicoff figured it, the recalls affected 18.5% of all U.S. auto production. Many of the recalls were caused by irritating rubs and rattles. Such defects are inevitable. "We now manufacture passenger cars which average about 14,000 parts each," wrote G.M. President James M. Roche in his covering letter to G.M.'s list. "It is hardly surprising under these circumstances that imperfections sometimes crop...
