...sham of amateurism. Football players are less expensive when paid with [scholarships]. Besides the cash value . . . the prestige, popularity and coeducational opportunities of the successful campus athlete are premiums an honest system would find it hard to replace.

Magritte is 48, married, and has a pet Pomeranian, "Jacacki." He is a dapper dresser, paints on a time-clock daily schedule in a corner of his small, commonplace living room.

First problem Andrews' successor must face: enforcement of the Oct. 24 minimum wage boost...
...last week some daring Cubans, who were rumored to be in sympathy with the radical Spanish Government, decided to destroy two Havana newsorgans considered most sympathetic with Spain's Whites. A 12-year-old touring car in which were concealed 1,500 sticks of dynamite and a time-clock detonator was parked outside the editorial offices of Diario de la Marina. Meanwhile a truck parked in front of the newspaper El Pais blew up with an explosion heard for miles, wrecked El Pais's two-story building, shattered the Church of Nuestra Señora de Monserrate across...
