...Kadrobach, 19, "We were-and still are-absolutely certain that nothing improper took place during the night. I know Tom too well to suspect otherwise." The girl from Texas, an old friend of Carter's, had arrived in Washington and could find no other suitable place to spend the night. The other three roommates gallantly volunteered to squeeze themselves into one bedroom of the apartment so that she and Carter could share the other (which had two beds...
...Attwood will spend most of his time running the editorial side of Look, which now has a circulation of 7,604,000 and advertising revenues of $79.5 million. He will also have a hand in supervising Cowles's other magazines: Family Circle (circ. 7,500,000), a monthly that contains women's features and household tips, and is sold mainly in supermarkets; The Insider's Newsletter (circ. 165,000), a short weekly analysis of the news; Venture (circ. 157,000), a bimonthly travel publication that was begun in 1964 and is not yet making money.

At the nation's top universities, the average science professor carries only six classroom hours a week, the humanities teacher about eight. A "star" system has evolved in which, for example, Columbia College Dean David Truman wonders how he can keep a professor whom another school has offered $30,000 a year, with no teaching and $100,000 for laboratory equipment.

...Negro or white, will spend much of his life directly before the law; justice there is necessary but not sufficient for the individual human being who happens to be a Negro. It is in the tiny affairs of daily living that the individual needs to be treated as equal; as long as the average white Southerner feels set upon from without, he will take revenge on the Negro in those tiny affairs: the idle salesgirl who lets him stand unattended for five minutes; the white taxi driver who doesn't see him trying to flag a cab; the teacher...
