...executive, Spellman has almost universal admiration; on other grounds, he is a target of criticism for excessive prudence. Some Catholic laymen deplore the fact that his voice, loud and clear in condemning The Deputy, dirty movies and the Communist threat, is rarely heard on such social issues as segregation and political corruption. Catholic book publishers seldom try to get Spellman's imprimatur on anything more controversial than the life of an Irish saint, and there is an undercurrent of complaint from young priests about the steady-as-you-go conservatism of chancery decrees.

Except in dire emergencies the pilots of U.S. commercial jets are far too cautious to try blind landings with zero-zero visibility. When weather conditions at their target runways are worse than 200-½ (200ft. ceiling, half-mile visibility), they are diverted to the nearest usable airport, which may be hundreds of miles away. The system is remarkably safe; during 1963 no fatal accident to a scheduled airline was caused by bad landing visibility. But passengers who were taken to Montreal instead of New York were seldom grateful, and airlines suffered financially. The Federal Aviation Agency figures that weather delays...

Sadly, because he has dared to follow his own musical instincts, to evolve a unique, uncommonly virile style, he has been ready target for attack from saccharine "commuter oboists" who, trapped in their concern for playing prettily, will never play beautifully...

They had just the man for the job: brooding, bearded Bill Russell, 30, pro basketball's dark genius of defense. Time and again Chamberlain went up to shoot, and there was Russell to block the shot...
...system of government. The memory of the war--the memory of thirty-three months of civil agony and a million deaths--still haunts the country. The Spaniard, recalling what partisanship brought him in the past, has not been eager to rush back into politics. He has been an easy target for Franco's peace and unity campaign. Yet the issues of war stand unresolved. Twenty-five years after its conclusion, the Spanish citizen remains without political or economic voice in his society. The Catholic Church and the Candillo rule his life with unchecked authority...
