Suddenly finding themselves the victors, Seoul's students showed extraordinary discipline. With virtually all the city's police force in frightened hiding, students ran the police stations, directed traffic, even commandeered city trash trucks and laboriously cleaned up the riot debris. When a group of rowdy schoolboys knocked a statue of Rhee off its pedestal and started to drag it away, older students restored it to place with the reproving reminder: "After all, he is part of our history...
...Hints for Wilderness Wives." Its four community colleges (Anchorage, Juneau, Ketchikan, Palmer) teach everything from aircraft maintenance to Tlingit Indian culture. To help exploit Alaska's rich resources, it rummages heaven and earth. The topflight Geophysical Institute has probably done more aurora borealis research than any other group in the world. The mining school, with its own mine under the campus, has taught 18,000 Alaskans how to find gold, uranium and tungsten.

Said one player-who prefers drugs to alcohol: "If you drank feeling that tired, you'd fall...
Last week the Mormon Church got out of the banking business. In a surprise move, it sold its controlling interest of 146,540 shares in Zion's First National Bank to a group of private businessmen headed by Norge Chairman Judson S. Sayre, Kennecott Director Leland B. Flint, and Utah Loan Company Executive Roy W. Simmons. Sale price: $9,818,314. The explanation from the Mormon leaders: the time has passed when Brigham Young's Latter-Day Saints need place their trust only in church-backed business institutions...
