...seasons, 23 of his players had to be operated on for knee injuries. What's more, Notre Dame's president, the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh (TIME cover, Feb. 9. 1962), was determinedly hauling up the school's academic standards, saw no reason to grant exemptions to football players. The upshot: Kuharich lost 23 out of 40 games, quit in 1962 to go back to the pros (he now coaches the Philadelphia Eagles). Finally, last year it was poor Hugh Devore's turn: he reluctantly agreed to fill in for one year as "interim" coach?and suffered through a dismal...
Most of the local strikes are expected to be settled some time this week. But the stoppage has already cut auto production 48% from the same week a year ago, and will cost G.M. several more days before it can get back to normal production. What was the upshot of the walkout? Reuther gained the same 57?-an-hour package that Ford and Chrysler had given him in September, plus three small concessions. The company promised to put extra men on the production line at times when the work load becomes unusually heavy, loosely agreed to give some...
Maddox's stand was the upshot of the first major challenge to the hotly disputed public-accommodations section of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

No sooner had Maurer flown off to Paris in his special Tarom Airlines Ilyushin 18 than Nikolai Podgorny, Secretary of the Soviet Central Committee and Khrushchev's third-ranking lieutenant, flew in for a daylong fence-mending session with Rumanian Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu...
...have to do an awful lot of rethinking before they bought that one, for Laos is proof positive of just how badly neutralization can flop. Another possibility is to expand the war to North Viet Nam with bombing raids and guerrilla attacks. That, too, has its pitfalls, for the upshot could be massive Red Chinese intervention, and another Korea. Still a third option is to keep muddling, as the U.S. has been doing. But that policy has so far failed, and there is no prospect that it will suddenly start paying...
