1953

Prolific author Brock Brower had an article in Life magazine's issue on leisure time; Brock's article was entitled "Taking the Kids and Surviving It: a Case for Togetherness." After carefully reading the article, I have concluded that (a) Brock's kids are a whole lot better behaved than the kids who live at my house, and (b) Brock's survival techniques apparently stem from his brief Hanover kidnapping in 1953.

Bob Callendar, president of Computer Property Corporation, in New York, and George Jacobus, president of Fairfield Communities Land Company, in Little Rock, have announced that their two firms have held exploratory merger discussions. This is not exactly what you'd call a social note, but it's a true indicator of our present station in life: we're too old to be issuing our own wedding notices and too young for those of our children, so a "marriage" among classmates' companies is both appropriate and fitting.
