...Prince's own pocket-and boasts such embellishments as an electrically controlled aerial and a leather-covered steering wheel. It has a bull horn that has already caused mumbles in the Noise Abatement Society. Charles will keep the car at Sandringham House for use on weekends and vacations from Cambridge, 50 miles away. The university, less impressed than insurance men by royal prerogative, will not let him keep a car on campus until...
...from Communism, especially since, it is claimed, there is no clear proof that the Saigon government represents the will of the people. Few if any of the antiwar clerics advocate handing the country directly over to Hanoi, but they argue that the U.S. has no divine mandate to use war to prevent the spread of Communism. Jesuit Theologian Daniel O'Hanlon of California's Alma College argues that the U.S. anti-Communist policy is "the holy-war theory, and it has been specifically rejected by the church."

...East, the coal-rich Norfolk & Western and the Chesapeake & Ohio-Baltimore & Ohio are moving toward a merger that will probably be consummated some time in 1970.

Only two years ago, Purdue's English Professor Maurice Beebe insisted: "I wouldn't allow my students to use a study guide to Judgment Day written by St. Peter himself." Since then, Beebe has written two trots, and dozens of other top scholars are now turning...
...toilet to read those things," recalls Jane Ferrar, wife of a Columbia English instructor, and a freelance writer of trots under the nom de plume of Jane Wexford. But students now carry them everywhere, college bookstores display them, and 15 million are sold annually. "As long as students will use study guides," argues Beebe now, "we may as well do our best to make sure that they are using good guides that are carefully prepared, accurate and thorough...
