A rainstorm Wednesday failed to drive off the civil rights demonstrators who have been marching and demonstrating outside the Democratic national convention at Atlantic City's Convention hall. When the rain started, they huddled under blankets on the Boardwalk in an attempt to keep dry.

"One belief is that every person is inhabited by a spirit, or ko, which goes travelling while the human body is asleep. If a man should be awakened suddenly - so the belief is- the Ko might not have time to get back into its body and would get even by going around causing trouble. So the people believe a man should be allowed to sleep until he wakes up of his own accord." U.S. Army Pocket Guide to New Caledonia.

Just don't breathe the vapor or spraymist, avoid contact with the skin, keep the mist from your eyes, do not spray near a fire or open flame, store under a hundred and twenty degrees and out of the sun's rays, keep the can out of reach of children, and do not incinerate or puncture."

"Now look - International has a net quick of $15 per share. Its market price is $10, book is $36.65. Our net quick is $8; our book is$22, and at market we are selling for $25. So to start with we offer them one share of ours for two of theirs. That's five bucks premium. Can they turn it down? So they turn it down. Then we say, O.K., we'll buy the assets. We'll give you $1 million for your plant, which stands at $3,900,000 net. That wipes out all the water, gives them a fine tax carry-back. Then we give them 80 per cent of net inventory and accounts receivable - that's another $4 million. Another nice tax loss for them. So we pay 'em $5 million. There's nothing complicated about this except - say, where do we get the turn-around money"
