Private Life. For the last 17 months he has had almost no private life at all as he crisscrossed the U.S., touching every state at least once, in his unprecedentedly vigorous campaign for the presidency. He lives in South St. Paul in a red brick, Tudor style, eight-room house which he built for $12,500 in 1938. A horseshoe is embedded in the cement doorstep, framing a footprint of Glen as a four-year-old. He does much of his work at home, has a Dictaphone in the library where he wrote his book, Where I Stand. For recreation...

When he really gets one hooked, he finishes a panel in a hurry. If the fishing is good, he can polish off four panels in a morning...
...savings and advantages, a refueled Tudor V (British South American Airways Ltd.) could take off from Lisbon with 44 instead of the present 26 passengers, and only 800 gallons of gasoline. In the air it could get more gasoline from a tanker and fly toward Dakar, where another tanker would give it enough fuel to fly on to Natal. The airline could collect 18 extra fares and scrap its expensive Dakar base (passengers would be spared the yellow-fever shots required for a stop at Dakar...
...liam Jones, Donald Mose and Richard O'Riley (Ripley Publishing Co., Hanover, N.H.; $1), came out last week. It covered twelve eastern women's colleges,† included maps of each campus and hints on how to act there: "The Vassar campus boasts everything from a nine-story Tudor dormitory to the unhappy Victorian 'Main' Building-a tender spot to loyal Vassarians, so try and keep a straight face when you see it." Other tips: ¶ Wellesley : "The major pastime is long walks . . . with a little ingenuity you can stay lost all day." ¶ Skidmore...
