...skepticism. Previous scandals, while firing reformist zeal, have resulted in little action. The Senate ethics committee itself is a monument to congressional distaste for self-regulation. Created by a 1964 resolution, the committee had no members for a full year and was virtually moribund until the Dodd investigation. The ten-point platitude adopted in 1958 as a code for the entire federal establishment is little more than an inside joke. One of the toothless injunctions requires "a full day's labor for a full...
...Boston is nothing if not a Celt's castle. Led by Center Bill Russell, Boston hopped into a 10-0 lead after the first four minutes, ran the score to 76-60 by the third quarter. Finally, with a ten-point lead and 25 sec. to go, out came the famous cigar. Programs, paper cups, hats and pillows filled the air; screaming fans mobbed the Boston bench. With all those distractions, the Celtics could be pardoned for letting the Lakers slip in a few baskets; then they froze the ball...
...Cardinal McIntyre from office, charging McIntyre with failure to support civil rights for Negroes. After that, Du Bay fetched up as chaplain to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, a job that gave him plenty of time to brood about the inequities of the priestly life.

Airily remarking that he was "happy to see you all again," Maurice Couve de Murville presented a ten-point proposal for changing the "style" of the Common Market's Executive Commission in Brussels. He really meant the style of its president, Walter Hallstein, who conducts himself, in the opinion of Charles de Gaulle, too much like a head of state. De Gaulle has never quite got over the fact that, as President Kennedy's guest in 1962, Hallstein stayed at Blair House as any chief of state might. And when Hallstein toured India in 1963, le grand Charles...
...moved to head off a takeover by somebody else. For two weeks, Crucible Steel, a specialty company with $300 million annual sales in alloys, stainless, tool and carbon steels, had been one of Wall Street's most active stocks; Crucible's stock fluctuated over a ten-point range. Then the reason came clear. Headed by Chicago Industrialist Morris J. Rubin, who helped engineer a takeover 21 months ago of the U.S. Smelting, Refining & Mining Co., a Crucible-minded "Stockholders Committee for Better Management" was buying Crucible stock. Rubin and his committee said they were angry over low earnings...
