...University of Alabama Football Coach Paul Bryant, he has been unable to keep his mind on his work. Instead, his thoughts kept turning darkly to a March 1963 Saturday Evening Post article that accused him and Wally Butts, former football coach at the University of Georgia, of trying to fix a football game. Bryant also remembered an earlier Post article claiming that he taught "excessively rough football." Last week the Post's parent Curtis Publishing Co. took a long step toward relieving "Bear" Bryant's gloom. It handed him $300,000 in settlement of two libel actions against...
...Fix! Fix!" Not since the summer games of 1956, when the Hungarians and Russians tried to kill each other in a water polo match, has an Olympics produced so much brouhaha.

Chicago Discounter Sol Polk puts it more bluntly: "We've got to have more things that someone can have first on his block." He wants to turn the home inside out with new products. "I'm angry with kitchens," says he. "Once you fix them, you can't change them." Polk would like kitchen equipment to be as movable as living-room furniture, wants pool-sized bathtubs for the whole family, electronic-memory bathroom scales, home steam rooms, and laundry equipment that will wash, dry and fold a towel in seconds...
