Benjamin Wynne, 20, underwent two of the most time-honored rites of passage at Louisiana State University last week. He received a pledge pin from the fraternity that voted him into the brotherhood, and he got rip-roaring drunk to celebrate. Wynne and his fellow Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers began their bacchanalia with an off-campus keg party featuring “funneling,” in which beer is shot through a rubber hose into the drinker’s mouth. Next came a communal bender at Murphy’s bar, a frat hangout a few hundred yards from L.

The 16-year-old actor and dancer JoJo Siwa became famous from Dance Moms and YouTube, but, for many, she’s now recognizable by something else: her signature hair bows. The video showcasing her “insane” personal collection of more than 1,000 bows — versions of which are available to fans via JoJo’s Bow Club, a bow-of-the-month subscription service — has more than 1.5 million views on YouTube, and her branded accessories are also sold at Claire’s, Justice and Target.

Deng’s triumph includes a purge of some old enemies “Sweep the great renegade of the working class onto the garbage heap!” “Sweep him into the dustbin of history!” Those slogans, chanted by Red Guards as they paraded down the streets of Peking in 1967, signaled the downfall of China’s pragmatic chief of state Liu Shaoqi (Liu Shao-ch’i); Chairman Mao Tse-tung, who regarded Liu as a rival for power, had deemed him to be the nation’s chief enemy.

In Boston the job will cost $200 million; the Houston contract will run to $250 million—two of the ripest architectural plums of the year. Both of these projects came from the busy assembly-line drawing boards of one of the most successful and controversial architects in the nation today, Charles Luckman, the onetime boy wonder of the corporate world. Construction contracts were let last week for Boston’s Prudential Center, which will convert a blighted Back Bay railroad yard to the 52-story New England headquarters of the Prudential Insurance Co.

Capital punishment is dying in the U.S. There were only two executions last year, just one the year before. A concerted attack is being waged on grounds that it is cruel and inhuman vengeance, does not work as a deterrent and is otherwise archaic. Suits by the American Civil Liberties Union and the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense Fund have blocked all executions in Florida and California until the question of whether or not the death sentence is still constitutional can be resolved in court.

January 21, 2016 11:35 AM EST When this man entered his home after being out in the yard, he couldn’t have anticipated what was about to happen. Or — since he knew he had just walked through a “huge” spider web — maybe he could have. A video showing an entire family freaking out after spotting a spider is going viral. The clip begins with a mom and daughter relaxing on the couch when the dad barges in from outside and asks if they see a spider on him.

For years, from its inception in 1937 until the early ’60s, the prestigious Daytona 200 motorcycle race wasn’t merely run at Daytona Beach. Along with other high-speed, high-risk clashes, the 200 was run on Daytona Beach. In 1948, LIFE magazine covered the races, both amateur and pro, at Daytona (the Road Course opened in 1936) and reported, in its April 19 issue, that “for four days last month the resort city of Daytona Beach could hardly have been noisier—or in more danger—if it had been under bombardment.
