“Outstanding men”
The entertainer, Elvis Presley, and the Presidential press secretary, Mr Ronald Ziegler, are among the latest “10 outstanding young men” of America named by the United States Jaycees. The award said of Presley, aged 36, of Memphis, “unlike many performers, past and present, Presley can’t be categorised as ‘eccentric’ or ‘snobbish’. He has not forgotten his birthplace, Tupelo, Mississippi to which he recently gave funds for a youth development programme.” Mr Ziegler, aged 31, was described by the Jaycees as “a vital link between the President |and the nation.”—Memphis, January 10.
