Accepted by the University of Puerto Rico for a year's graduate course in social work: Nathan Leopold, 54, a hospital laboratory technician in Puerto Rico since March 1958, when he was paroled from an Illinois prison after serving 33 years for teaming up with Richard Loeb (murdered in a jailhouse brawl) in the 1924 thrill killing of little Bobby Franks...
...superb technician, Jonah makes the weariest material sound fresh; he can float out a beautifully fluid legato with every note fully etched, or rasp out a low, "dirty" tone while keeping the melody under rigid control, or punch out a bright, high note and linger over it with a heavy vibrato.

Sharing the Business. Father of the Japanese industry is Masaru Ibuka. 51, a prewar movie sound technician who in 1948 set up what is now the Sony Corp. to make tape recorders and other sound equipment.

Eyeing the inverted chevrons of the Army's new technician class. First Sergeant Leonard T. Berry deplored the Army's changes over his 19 years. "If I try to get 50 guys to parade, I can't do it." he growled. "They think all they have to do is out there in the pits." Old Soldier Berry still insists on the traditional Friday night "G.I. Party" if the battery's comfortable barracks looks unscrubbed. Suspiciously, he watches such innovations as midmorning (9:30-10) coffee breaks, midafternoon Coke breaks, mechanical potato peelers, dishwashers. EDUCATION...
