...South Bend, Ind. last week was in the throes of one of the worst winters in its history, yet hardly anyone talked about the weather. "With all these Larks around," said Studebaker-Packard's President Harold E. Churchill, "it's been like spring." Production of the Lark was up to 4,300 cars a week; total production for 1959 so far (61,000) was 12,000 ahead of the entire 1958 model year...
...Groton, the gangling Cushing was a good-hit, no-field first baseman ("I couldn't bend over far enough to get to ground balls"), did the crudest kind of skiing (classmates recall he was forever stepping out of his bindings, losing skis on the slightest of hills). At Harvard he played squash, flopped at crew ("I learned a wrist trick-a way of making a big puddle without actually pulling hard. The coach caught me one afternoon, stopped the boat and took...
...Bend. Though the colon averages 5 ft. in length, the vast majority of diverticula are found in its last 15 inches, known as the sigmoid colon be cause it bends in an S shape from the lower end of the descending colon to the upper part of the rectum. Most of the sigmoid colon is in the left lower quarter of the body. When a diverticulum becomes inflamed (diverticulitis), the symptoms suggest "left-sided appendicitis." Symptoms usually include diarrhea, gas distension and pain...
Oregonians agreed that the session was one more sign of Dick Neuberger's growing stature. Commented the Bend Bulletin: "Neuberger has become a good U.S. Senator from Oregon . . . Morse, on the other hand, has shown he still prefers to go the same old way, changing sides, grabbing headlines, but doing darned little effective work on major problems of Oregon." Possible long-range effect: as the hottest young Republican in the West, Governor Hatfield is almost certain to try eventually for a U.S. Senate seat. He might well decide to serve out his four-year term in the Statehouse...
...GLAD YOU CAN HELP was the United Fund's slogan this fall in South Bend, Ind., one of the cities worst hit by 1958's recession. Many were. Though Studebaker-Packard's work force had been cut 10%, men still on the job dug deeper, came up with exactly the same as last year's total: $67,000. In jittery Detroit, Ford's workers boosted their average contribution from $20.02 to $24.35. Northrop Aircraft's payrollers in Los Angeles raised their contribution to the local A.I.D. chest from $269,000 last year...
