...items, had them photostated, and arranged them into his nugget book. Included in it are quotations from men as varied as Churchill, De Gaulle, Lincoln, Asoka (early apostle of Buddhism), Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Milton, Thomas Babington Macaulay, Bishop Fulton J.

Well-tamed New Yorkers have long since learned that to stray beyond the floodlights in the city parks at night is to invite a holdup, a mugging or worse. But Columbia University Professor Karl H. Menges, 52, who has seen some wild places in his time, thought he was in a civilized country as he took his evening walk one night last week past Morningside Park, which borders the Columbia campus.

At Aberdeen, S. Dak., in 1958, Dalkowski pitched a one-hitter and lost, 9 to 8. Against Reno's Silver Sox this summer, he whiffed 19, still lost...
Getting those last votes was keeping Kennedy on the move. His preconvention windup was aimed in two directions: 1) picking up stray, overlooked delegates in the smaller states, and 2) trying by every kind of push and pressure to topple the big, still uncommitted states that can put him across. Items: ¶ At a National Democratic Club luncheon in Manhattan, Kennedy and his hosts, New York's Democratic leaders, were all smiles and compliments. One after another, the bigwigs pledged their support. "His strength," said Tammany's Carmine De Sapio, "has continued to magnify itself." And former Governor...
