...Columbus, last week, ostensibly to meet with Ohio's convention delegation, the scene was near-anarchy but fairly typical. Advance radio plugs had invited the populace to the airport for a "moonlight meeting" with Bobby and Ethel. A mammoth traffic jam resulted. Finally arriving in the city, Kennedy stood on his convertible's hood with his Irish cocker spaniel Freckles at his feet. At Mt. Vernon and North Champion Avenues in the Negro Near East Side, friendly crowds engulfed the car. Admirers fell over each other and into the motorcade's path; Kennedy aides had to scoop children from harm...
...black flag that flew last week above the tumultuous student disorders of Paris stood for a philosophy that the modern world has all but forgotten: anarchy. Few of the students who riot in France, Germany or Italy -or in many another country-would profess outright allegiance to anarchy, but its basic tenets inspire many of their leaders. Germany's "Red Rudi" Dutschke and France's "Red Danny" Cohn-Bendit openly espouse anarchy.

Arabians - the currently chic horse in many places - stood at 16,015 in 1959; today there are 46,266 registered in the U.S. and Canada. The Appaloosa, the unusually spot ted horse that got much of its vogue from Walt Disney's 1966 Run, Appaloosa, Run, has climbed in the U.S. from...
...that lead up to his corporate takeovers as "war games." Last week, after a long war game, Ling made a tender offer for a controlling 62% of the stock of Pittsburgh's Jones & Laughlin Steel Co., the nation's fifth largest steelmaker. The offer meant that LTV stood ready to ante up $425 million in one of the largest cash tender offers ever made; at $85 per share, it also meant that Ling, to ensure quick action, was paying a big bonus on shares that opened last week at $50, closed at $77, thereby moved up 27 points...
