...Lampoon found itself in trouble again after its infamous "Esquire" issue in spring 1935; in righteous disciplinary fervor the Administration closed down the "Poon establishment while officers scrambled to desert the sinking ship. Only the autumn before, the CRIMSON, Lampoon, and Life magazine had gone on sale in tandem at a combined price of $5.00, never again to be duplicated. A mild stir arose at the vague revival of the Med. Fac, Club, open to any undergraduate who could commit anything which would have him expelled and jailed if caught. But the revival died quickly; members succeeded only in blowing...
...will be powered by two new Continental 180-h.p. engines, carry four passengers at a cruising speed of about 180 m.p.h., take off and land in less than 800 ft. of runway, fly as high as 22,000 ft. and climb 1,550 ft. per minute. Moreover, the unusual tandem engine mounting virtually eliminates the problem of torque and unbalance that usually occurs when a conventional twin-engine plane loses power in one engine, making it so difficult to fly that comparatively few weekend flyers hold twin-engine ratings. The result is a two-engine plane that Cessna believes pilots...
...Playing guard for the Royals (he is too small for forward), Robertson has taken charge of the Royals, with the tacit backing of Coach Charley Wolf, just as he automatically has run every one of his teams from the seventh grade on.

Since then, says a New Orleans attorney, "he has disappointed a lot of his enemies and surprised many of his friends." The reactions stem from the quality of his tough decisions: alone or in tandem with fellow Fifth Circuit judges, Wisdom has outlawed a Louisiana law that forbade Negroes to participate in sports events with whites, and ruled unconstitutional another Louisiana law requiring the N.A.A.C.P. to reveal its membership lists. Last year, serving on a special three-judge federal court, Wisdom defended the legality...
Their confidence was based on the belief that, for the first time in a generation, U.S. fiscal (budget) and monetary (credit) policy are pulling in tandem rather than in opposite directions. Money supply and growth demands of the economy seem to be approaching balance. On one side of the bright new equation is the hefty $4.2 billion surplus forecast for fiscal 1961 by the Treasury, biggest projected surplus since the Truman Administration's $8.4 billion in 1948. And on the other side is the slowly achieved success of the Federal Reserve System in trimming the credit supply...
