...Aura of Good Taste." For months, the rumor has persisted Washington that Douglas chatted with President Kennedy last spring, hinted that he might resign from the Supreme Court Douglas denies this-and there seems little likelihood that he would conceivably step down before Oct. 16, his 65th birthday, when he will be eligible to retire at his full salary of $35,000 a year for life...
Despite all this-and to an extent because of it-Scripps-Howard is the most viable and most successful newspaper chain in the U.S. It has endured for 84 years, longer than any other group, including the venerable Hearstpapers (age: 75). Unlike Hearst, which loses money on newspapering despite a circulation larger than Scripps-Howard's 3,074,150. Scripps-Howard has consistently made money from birth.

Elizabeth Arden has all this-and then some. She operates two remote Shangri-Las, also called Maine Chance, one in Maine and one near Phoenix, Ariz.

As a result of this-and the Democratic victories in the Northwest last year on a public power platform-there is growing pressure for more Government help in developing the vast Columbia River basin. Below Hell's Canyon on the Snake River (chief Columbia tributary), private power had planned two power-only dams...

At such moments, the head and shoulders of the dugong rise from the water in a vaguely human attitude. Many ichthyologists believe that this-and the fishlike tail the dugong displays when diving-led Greek and Arab seamen to bring back tales of mermaids. The dugong also emits a low-pitched whistling sound as the air rushes in through its nostrils. This may account for Homer's persistent legend of sweet-voiced sirens...
