Psychiatrist Bowes, director of the Institute of Neurology and Psychological Medicine in Grand Forks, N. Dak., spoke from intimate experience. At 55, he is undoubtedly one of the most hopeless hi-fi addicts who ever attenuated a treble.

In California, virtually every church leader spoke out in 1964 against a referendum to repeal the state's "fair housing" act. The clergymen's advice was overwhelmingly rejected by the voters.
