...between bureaucracy and the individual, a new skirmish was being fought last week in industrial Manchester. A 6-ft., nobly bearded Sikh named Gyani Sundar Singh Sagar. 43, having passed the examination to become a conductor on Manchester's municipal buses, was eager to don the navy-blue uniform of his chosen calling. But since the Sikh Holy Book, the Adi Granth. says that "a Sikh is never to wear a cap or shave his beard or head,'' Singh Sagar asked permission to keep his shoulder-length hair under a smoothly coiled turban rather than...
...Graeme Thorne, the ?100.000 boy." he boasted to classmates. One morning last month, neatly turned out in his Scots College uniform. Graeme Thorne called goodbye to his 3½-year-old sister Belinda and started toward the corner 300 yards from home, where a schoolmate's mother was to pick him up for the drive to school.

He won a marksmanship trophy and the American Legion's Americanism Award, and he became so gung-ho that he tried to get into World War II at 16, lied about his age and spent two weeks in uniform before his mother took him home.
