SAINT NORBERT COLLEGE The late C. Leo De Orsey, LL.D., tax attorney. Even a partial list of his clients is testimony to his success: Charles Wilson, General Omar Bradley, Edward R. Murrow, Arthur Godfrey, George Preston Marshall, General Curtis LeMay, Ted Williams, Max Factor...
...Goldwater in New York, Dean Rusk and Sir Alec Douglas-Home in London, and Maurice Schumann in Paris joined in a transatlantic gabfest. A mug shot of Canada's most wanted man, relayed by Early Bird and recognized by a televiewer in Florida, gave accused Bank Robber Georges Lemay the dubious fame of becoming the first fugitive nabbed by satellite. NBC teamed up with the BBC and, for a refreshing few minutes, Huntley-Brinkley became Huntley-Dimbleby...

Instead, enormous amounts of money are being spent to beef up the Minuteman batteries and nuclear submarine-launched missiles, among them Poseidon, which will double the megatonnage of Polaris. In Omaha, the Joint...
