...RUNNING BACKS: O. J. Simpson, Southern Cal, 6 ft. 2 in., 210 Ibs.; and Paul Gipson, Houston, 6 ft., 205 Ibs. The scouts are calling 1968 the Year of the Running Back.

After languishing in Southern Mexico for two years Lowry left for the United States where he met Margerie Bonner, his second wife. In their squatter's shack on Vancouver Island, she nursed him through another seventeen years of alcoholism, depression and relentless bad luck, until his death from drinking...
Troubled Prosperity. McCracken fully appreciates the fact that economic policy is made in the context of broader social problems. That realization was sharpened last year when he took a leave from Michigan to teach at three Southern Negro colleges. His social awareness is only one reason why Paul McCracken's appointment last week was widely applauded. For McCracken also brings to his new job a conviction that the U.S. economy, which has been going through a rather troubled prosperity, should be steered onto "a steadier course...
