...auto-accident business entirely. Urban Specialist Daniel P. Moynihan, who chairs a federal auto-safety advisory committee, suggests a federal insurance system modeled on workmen's compensation, with awards made strictly on the basis of loss rather than fault. "Financing such a system," he argues, "might be the easiest part of all." Some $3.4 billion a year in gasoline taxes is already being spent to build the Interstate Highway System. When the system is finished in 1973, Moynihan would simply raise the gas tax a penny or so a gallon and switch the revenue to insurance, for which motorists...
Penn was the easiest match of the young season for the Crimson as the better-conditioned Yardlings overcame their lack of experience in the lower weight classes. Pins by Pat Coleman at 167 pounds, John Imrie at 191, and Tom Tripp in the heavyweight division, the third in a row for each, ensured the victory...
Hurry sundown by Otto Preminger. Bernard Shaw postulated that great playwrights by definition write great plays, and this is certainly the easiest way to defend Preminger's' Hurry Sundown, a difficult and dramatically unrewarding film.

Also blessed are families battling for what Psychologist Muzafer Sherif calls "superordinate goals"-the kind of unifying struggle for existence that once cemented families of pioneers and immigrants. "Hostility gives way," reports Sherif, "when groups pull together to achieve overriding goals which are real and compelling for all concerned." In this sense, some impoverished Americans are luckier than affluent parents, who must use their wits to seek emotional unity...
...most, Christmas is the season forgiving. But for a sizable substratum of society, it is a season for light-fingered taking. In the four weeks before Christmas, department stores suffer half their annual losses from shoplifting. Much of it is impulse stealing-the easiest to spot, because it is often done so clumsily, but the hardest to predict, because no segment of the population is immune. Only last week the Harvard Cooperative Society announced that it had caught 18 undergraduates shoplifting. Said Harvard Coop Manager John G. Morrill: "Everybody has the propensity to steal, and Harvard has its share...
