...Explorer Dwight Eisenhower finally reached the windswept Summit, he saw to his dismay that the snow had been badly trampled, and disappearing down the snowy slope trundled a short, squat figure, the broad backsides, the large roll of fat clearly discernible between the ears. It was the Abdominal Snowman! Thus ended another episode in the series, "Explorer Eisenhower's Gullible Travels...
Into Texas' unpredictable political picture has swept a new name, a new face, and a new third party-all rolled into the form of a squat, barrel-chested, brass-voiced character named John Milton Addison. A man of infinite talents, Addison, 36, is the announced candidate for Governor under the party banner he created for that purpose: the "Clean 'Em Out Right Party." The label was designed to fit the Democratic "ins," but may apply also aptly to Addison himself. A federal grand jury in Fort Worth last week returned a 24-count indictment against Addison...
...18th century's greatest physician looked and acted like some crazed quack in a horror movie. A squat, curmudgeonly eccentric, he jounced through London in a cart hauled by three Asiatic water buffaloes. A moatless drawbridge guarded his rambling home at 12 Leicester Square. In the fetid basement of his country villa, a vast copper cauldron was kept at the boil; there he melted down human and animal corpses to get fresh skeletons for his grisly pathological museum of pickled fetuses, stuffed one-eyed pigs and cock-plumed hens. There may have been, as his contemporaries thought, more madness...
...moved out of Cape Town in a wagon train of 41 aluminum trailers and 41 pastel-colored trucks. They had zigzagged over desert, through jungle and swamp, and it was obvious that where-ever they went, the natives-the black miners of the South, the willowy Watutsis, the squat Pygmies, the haughty Moslems of the North-had never seen anything quite like them. The adults among the travelers were all retired, and their ages, even after 22 children were figured in, averaged 62. By last week, when it stopped, the caravan had covered 14,800 miles and gone the length...
...here and effectively prohibits giving tenure to other desirable scholars. But his more important reservation about this fine faculty concerns its relationship to the odious undergraduate body. The great scholars have every right to ignore undergraduates (it is sometimes difficult to understand why more of them do not) and squat in a corner of Widener deciphering Ogam Stones. One can only hope, for their sake and the University's, that what most of them produce is "worth" the upkeep of their studies and the amount of departmental stationery they consume. It is still very sad that these dull...
