...what is wrong with contemporary society as a whole. When I was a young man, an old professor in Germany, who was the greatest man in our field, said to me musingly: "In our profession one needs a certain abnegation." Most of our young men and women today who follow in that old man's footsteps want maximum salaries and leave with pay before they have even begun to think of abnegation. This comes, of course, from the fact that universities and colleges have quadrupled their enrollments and they have to bid high for even the poorest of staff...
...love of a man and the votes of 62 million women,* presidential candidates' wives this year are suffering tortures that would have given Martha Washington the vapors. Ethel Kennedy, three months pregnant, takes a fall on the ice as she and Bobby skim a rink for the benefit of photographers and the skaters' vote. Abigail McCarthy totters out of a sickbed to stump for Gene. Happy Rockefeller endures scores of bone-crushing handshakes daily. Pat Nixon makes her millionth airport arrival, to beam and greet the faithful. Only Muriel Humphrey, recuperating from an operation, has been spared...
...decision upholding the convictions of 24 Indians for violating fishing regulations in the state of Washington.

Demonstrators defiantly sprawled over imposing marble statues, splashed in fountains, hauled down an American flag and smashed five windows at the side of the building, though leaders of the march absurdly blamed the press...
...restricted largely to those who were born there. A recent survey of 2,530 prominent French, ranging from Pop Singer Sylvie Vartan to Charles de Gaulle, showed that 68% came from families that belonged to the top 5% of French society. Only 5% of prominent French men and women came from what could be classified as the working class. Nor can the French worker reasonably hope that his offspring will inherit the chance for upward mobility that he was denied. For the vast majority of lower-class children, education ends at about 16, whereupon apprenticeship begins. Only 10% of French...
...future air museum in New Jersey. But such, at least, was not the case with one beat-up, prop-less oldtimer, listed as the "Travelair Mystery Ship." "Mystery ship, hell!" snorted Oldtime Aviatrix Florence Lowe ("Pancho") Barnes. "I bought this ship in 1930 and flew it to two women's world speed records." When she made the winning bid of $4,300 for her old plane, which had been in Mantz's collection, the crowd stood and applauded. Pancho Barnes, for her part, guaranteed to have her old ship back in shape and flying soon...
