...long ago, in company with several others, I made a project site visit to a great Southern university. During the course of that visit we were told about a man on their wards who had been hopelessly unconscious for more than a year. He got pneumonia. The question was, should he be treated? He was. And the reasons he was treated do not reflect any very great credit on his institution. He was treated, as the medical personnel pointed out, "because the nurses made us do it." This was neither a humanitarian nor a medical decision: it was simply...
...elaboration of labor's status and goals was in effect a reply to Reuther's charges and exhortations. Among A.F.L.-C.I.O. goals, Meany outlined a call for a million public-service jobs paying at least the federal minimum wage, an Administration putsch against nonunion (especially Southern textile) plants, at least 200,000 new public-housing units a year through 1969 and an annual half-million thereafter, a huge extension of public-transit facilities, more bountiful social-welfare benefits, and greatly expanded Government job-training and placement programs. And despite its support for the President's Viet...
...Louisiana State board of education last week in a bitter, clamorous hearing. As he told the board about the destruction of school property, Jones broke into tears and insisted that "we haven't lowered our academic standards -we've raised them."

The real point of the protest at Grambling is that Negro students are now aroused enough-and care enough-to risk expulsion in demanding a better college education...
...HALFBACKS: O. J. Simpson, 20, Southern Cal., 6 ft. 1 in., 202 Ibs., and Leroy Keyes, 20, Purdue, 6 ft. 3 in., 199 Ibs. Since Simpson and Keyes are juniors, the pros will have to wait for what one scout calls "two of the finest football players I've seen in 15 years." A 9.4-sec. man in the 100-yd. dash, Simpson was college football's No. 1 ground gainer with 1,415 yds. and an average of more than 5 yds. per carry. He can also throw passes and catch them-and a lot more...
They usually get their wish. The co author of that salacious little novel Candy was billed as Maxwell Kenton until he was unmasked as Terry Southern. Mark Epernay was supposed to have written the pseudoscientific McLandress Dimension, a book measuring the ego capacity of prominent people...
