...Painter Claes Oldenburg, engaging in a "happening." My mother, who was violently washing dishes at the time, calmed down long enough to read me your article on what's happening with the "happenings." I was very interested in a remark attributed to my father, Jim Dine, to the effect that he wanted to show the violence in the home. In my ten months of life, I can recall only three violent acts committed by my father in our home. Two of them were attacks of indigestion, and the third was laughter and violent giggles in response to your article...
...completed its second year in orbit, Vanguard had proved to have two virtues that the massive Soviet satellites lack. First, it soared into so high an orbit (apogee 2,500 miles above the earth, perigee 400 miles) that the outermost fringes of the atmosphere exert almost no slowing effect on its motion. It has kept going while heavier competitors sagged into the atmosphere and burned up; it has already circled the earth nearly 8,000 times, may keep up this schedule for 1,000 years...

Many builders also insist-despite the Government's refusal to blame the housing slump on the weather-that winter storms badly damaged their business. Says Edward T. Rice, executive...
Such a marketing setup is routine for sugar. Nearly all of the world's countries have some form of controlled buying or subsidy system that keeps prices for sugar higher than the world price. In the U.S. the price, in effect, is controlled by the Secretary of Agriculture, who can increase or cut it by changing the quota (9.4 million tons in 1960). U.S. refiners pay more than 5? per Ib. for sugar, about 2? above the world price, pass the extra cost on to consumers...
