...sits in for Draper or Thomas when either leaves his station), two flight engineers, a radio operator and three stewards (who always check with Draper to make sure that the plane is not headed for turbulent weather before they serve the President his meals).

Draper himself makes it a point to review emergency routines with the President, who, like any other plane passenger, fastens his seat belt when the warning goes...

After that, it was a simple matter of wrapping Nicole's heartthrobs in strands of music...
Tackling the U.S. teacher shortage, Yale last week announced the results of a three-year project directed by Yale Education Professor Emeritus Clyde M. Hill. Eight Connecticut housewives (aged 30 to 45) attended special classes at the University of Bridgeport, taught part time in the public schools of Fairfield. All the women got higher academic scores than the norm for college girls, compared favorably with new college graduates. All taught better for having broader life experience than the average young teacher. Yale's total training cost per teacher: $750, much less than for younger student teachers. With five...
