Surely the newest version of this ancient creature will never be a plaything. It took 32 men to lift the pine, oak, and plywood frame from its saw-horses in the boathouse down to the float, and lots of ingenuity to float...
...Hiwassee River in Calhoun, Tenn. last week, the South passed an important milestone in its fast industrial growth. The milestone: dedication of a $60 million newsprint plant that will provide 750 jobs and an important outlet for one of Dixie's most abundant natural resources-southern pine. Outside the long, low buildings, some 450 visiting publishers and their wives inspected a giant man-made pond, as big as the Yale Bowl and capable of storing 30,000 cords of wood under water to guard against decay.

On the way to Magnolia Cemetery Brown's Cadillac turned out of the funeral cortege, and he hurried to Columbia, where, at an emergency meeting that day, the state Democratic executive committee, on Brown's insistence, decided against the primary plan. Then it handed the party's nomination to Brown...
