...brighter-and sometimes the more incongruous-the package, the greater the appeal. California's Thoro-fed Dog Food watched sales jump 40% when it wrapped Fido's dinner in gleaming gold foil. Among the new gimmicks: multiple-unit "specials," with three, six and twelve items in a pack. One Midwest chain reports that it sold only nine cans of sauerkraut a week at a dime apiece, but 441 cans priced at ten cans for $1. A West Coast petfood packer sells more three-can packages priced at 29? than three individual cans priced at 9? apiece...
...this stunt made wrecks of the bright red Italian cars; they burned out before they really got into the race. This year California's Phil Hill and his co-driver, Belgium's Olivier Gendebein, played it smart: they kept their 3-liter Ferrari well back in the pack. And they saw the field thin rapidly as they nursed their car along. Last year's winning Jaguars, their engines cut down to meet the new 3-liter limit, began to fail after 15 minutes. Moss rattled to a stop within three hours. The course became an automobile boneyard...
...Gallup poll of 1960 Democratic presidential possibilities. It would, the pollsters said, only distort the count for the real candidates. But Gallup heard so much Stevenson talk that he put him back on, last week put out a report that showed Stevenson at the head of the pack with 23%.

...Congress, conference or Communism, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles tries to slip away from his job every couple of months to rest and think. And when he gets away, in thorough Thoreau-going fashion he goes very nearly to population's brink. He and his wife Janet pack a single bag, fly to Watertown, N.Y., board a twin-engined amphibious plane near Lake Ontario, and fly out to their own private Duck Island (3 sq. mi.) and their primitive three-room log cabin-bare of telephone, electricity, running water and plumbing. Foster Dulles cherishes his island privacy...
...bull's legs so that he could be hauled out by mules. Or the peones, or the matador himself, would lure the bull up to the inner fence where an accomplice could jab a dagger into the base of his skull. In Madrid, as a last resort, a pack of hunting dogs is used to weary the animal...
