...money, payment for Samish's services in landing the Schenley Distillers' account, was remitted in checks drawn to ex-prize fighters, bookies, friends and relatives of Samish, and even to fictitious persons. Last week Federal Judge Oliver D. Hamlin imposed a fine of $40,000 and a three-year jail term on Artie Samish. Still pending: the Government's claim against him for $908,983 in back taxes and penalties...
...additional read-justment was necessary. The Hasty Pudding was converted to an Officer's Club, the Signet, Harvard's undergraduate literary society, turned its building over to the Red Cross. Again, it was only the active and loose-fisted alumni that pulled many of the final clubs through the three-year occupation by the military.

...socialism had crept into Wechsler while he was a 17-year-old sophomore, and be had become a communist late in his junior year. But his marriage with the Party was shaky from the start.

Last year company planes, in flying 370 million air miles, logged 3,250,000 hours flying time-more than all U.S. domestic airlines combined. Their three-year safety record was also remarkable: they have had only one fatality for every 200 million passenger miles (v. 1.6 on commercial airlines...
Share Alike. Today the four colleges share the same auditorium, the same medical services and the same 270,000-volume library. But though students at one campus may take courses at any other, each college maintains its own character. Scripps has a basic three-year humanities program in which each subject explores the same century at the same time. The graduate school stresses the social sciences ("We want to become in the social sciences," says one official, "what CalTech is in the physical sciences"), and the men's college puts its emphasis on government and economics. Each campus...
