...governs the world of toys is that there is no new fad like an old fad. Remember the YoYo? It is back now as the Glow Go, in a $1.50 version with a pair of small batteries that make it light up when it bobs. The Mickey Mouse watch? Staunch Mouseketeers have been willing to pay up to $200 for the campy $4.95 original. Now, Timex has brought out a new $12.95 Mickey Mouse watch and sold 100,000 in the first three weeks...
Gray's injury dampened the spirits of his teammates who were leading 3-0 at the time. Wesleyan, which had tied the powerful Yale squad earlier in the season, shut out high-scoring Pete Bogovich by double-teaming him. This, however, allowed the Crimson to penetrate their staunch defense early in the first quarter...
...acre Maine farm and a weekly newspaper. Wiggins came to Washington in 1933 as correspondent for the St. Paul Dispatch-Pioneer Press, rose to editor before becoming assistant to the publisher of the New York Times.

Pearson cites as an example of dubious ethics Johnson's service on the Senate Commerce Committee (which oversees the FCC) while his family TV and radio stations...
Tipping Scales. He is already on the ballot in 32 states. Petition drives are in progress in ten more. Louisiana Governor John McKeithen, a staunch Humphreyite, admits that Wallace is the present odds-on favorite in that state. The Alabamian should carry Mississippi as well as his home state, and elsewhere in the South he may draw off enough votes to wreck Nixon's chance of carrying Dixie. In any state, north or south, where the balance is close, George Wallace can tip the scales to the party that loses fewer supporters to his cause...
