...subway from Harlem that morning, Window Washer Benny Robinson and the Negro girl on the next strap had been rubbing against each other happily-when a sudden stop threw her against a middle-aged white man, whom she accused of improper advances. Funny thing, it was the same white man Benny punched in the eye in the race incident a few hours later. And the same man again whom Benny found sitting behind the desk when he applied for a job that afternoon. Now that same night, in whose fancy home had Benny's wife just gone to work...

"Bootstrap" achieved its limited goals, and now Hall has replaced it with "Operation Breakthrough." Its ambitious goal: $14.5 million in profits this year...
...Strapped Skis. Skiing, in short, is getting to be a southern sport. From balmy Los Angeles it is only 90 miles to Big Bear Lake, where Snow Summit will have more than 20,000 people schussing and slaloming next weekend. Some citizens of Phoenix, Albuquerque, and points in between will strap skis on top of their station wagons, in apparent defiance of the dry, hot desert air, and head for Ski Cloud Croft or Sierra Blanca in the Sacramento mountains north of Alamogordo...
