...apples?" That one floored Heavyweight Cassius Clay, 23, and after he'd taken the count on two Army aptitude tests, the U.S. declared that the champion just wasn't bright enough to fight. Now Colonel Everette Stephenson, director of Selective Service in Kentucky, will "more than likely" summon Clay for another round of brain crushers. Meantime the champ won another kind of split decision. He got a Miami divorce from his wife Sonji because her slacks were too tight and her makeup too much for his Muslim eye, but was ordered to pay $1,200 a month...
Qualified faculty members are often reluctant to shoulder the burden of entertaining, counseling and administration which masterships entail. Men like Hersey, who can summon the power of the artist, reporter, and statesman into the kingdom of the teacher might pump a little new life into the House system.

Burkley, asleep in the guesthouse 100 strides down the road. Burkley quickly diagnosed a malfunctioning gall bladder...
...Dodgson drawings, though worlds away from the expert expressiveness of the famous illustrations by Tenniel, have a charm all their own. They summon an image of dear Dodgson as he sat back, pen in hand and collar askew, to beam at this lucky squiggle or that eager splodge and imagine how Alice would soon stare at it with huge believing eyes. The later Alice is a work of literature; the earlier a work of love...
