...Monday--Former Crimson Sports Editor Nicholas S. Wurf travels to Duluth, Minn., more than a year after his last visit to that cultural haven, to serve as grand marshal in the city's ticker-tape parade. Having turned down the same offer last year, Wurf says he feels compelled to make the appearance. "My fans, they love me," Wurf grins...
...last week's outpouring of public warmth and support for the veterans was massive and genuine beyond dispute: a gesture of splendid grandeur. As sheer spectacle, the tribute was a rousing success. It was vintage Big Apple, a ticker-tape parade through the canyons of lower Manhattan. Blizzards of litter (duly calculated to be 468 tons). Bands blaring (God Bless America and The + Caisson Song).

...pathetic irony that Hughes sought refuge in one of the nation's least populous states only to find it too crowded and dangerous (he attempted bribery to stop nuclear testing in Nevada).

The conviction that everyone had his price and that he could double it seems to have corrupted Hughes profoundly. His money cut him off from emotional commerce, the give and take of feelings that establishes true...
...only U.S. newsmagazine with a fully staffed bureau operation in New Delhi, TIME was prepared for swift action when a wire-service ticker flashed the news of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination. Bureau Chief Dean Brelis, who had seen Mrs. Gandhi only two weeks earlier, instantly began gearing up for his own extensive reporting duties. He assigned Reporter K.K. Sharma to gather a profile of new Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and asked Bureau Manager Deepak Puri and Researcher Arti Ahluwalia to pull together background material on Mrs. Gandhi. Brelis also obtained, exclusively for TIME, the last known photos...
