...this point the smiles would seem to be well justified. Established by Executive Order on March 1, the Corps has developed into an efficient, if not always smooth and neat, organization. At hearings on the Peace Corps Bill conducted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) publicly lauded Director R. Sargent Shriver for his presentation of the Peace Corps' case. It is a good thing he did not take the short tour on the heels of a Public Relations man that some did. The senator would undoubtedly be amazed at how anything coherent could emerge from...
...best Kenton ever put together. The instrumentation is unique even for one of popular music's most tireless experimenters: no strings, generous contingents of trumpets, trombones, saxes, and an instrument of Kenton's own invention -the mellophonium, midway between trumpet and trombone.

On the other hand, says Lasch, "there have never been any serious disagreements...
...Chosen Targets. Though Tyrex advertising does not neglect the motorist, its prime targets are Detroit's automakers and their dealers. Playing on the auto-men's conviction that nothing is so important in selling a car as a smooth ride, Tyrex made much of the fact that when a car with nylon tires is parked overnight, its tires tend to develop a flat spot at the point of contact with the road and will go back to a perfect circle only after several miles of driving. Christening this condition "nylon thump," the rayon makers hammered away...
