...campuses, groups of radical students sought nothing less than the destruction of the university. Columbia nearly fell to them last spring, and San Francisco State College was still reeling under their attacks as the old year closed. Despite the Administration's halting steps toward peace, massive antiwar demonstrations still took place in parks and arenas, men still burned their draft cards, priests and pedagogues still faced trial for attempting to subvert the Selective Service process...
Thomas was born and grew up in Marion, Ohio, and earned pocket money delivering the Marion Star, published by Warren Gamaliel Harding.

...across the Pacific-to Japan, Australia, Southeast Asia and the islands in between. No major Pacific routes have been awarded by the U.S. Government since 1946, and airline executives have been lobbying long and hard to get more. The first leg of the air race ended last spring, when a Civil Aeronautics Board examiner recommended that the international business be divided up among five carriers.
