Last week the Celtics clobbered San Francisco 104-94 for their 16th victory in a row - just one short of the National Basketball Association record. The winning streak ended when Philadelphia edged them next night in a squeaker, 104-100. But with 31 games still to play, their season's record is 41-8, which gives them a 7½-game lead over the second-place Cincinnati Royals - a team they have beaten six straight times this season.

Ambassador Adlai Stevenson, and dressed in a one-shouldered black crepe gown with an ermine jacket, she attended a U.N. concert commemorating the 16th anniversary of the adoption of its Declaration of Human Rights...
...shield and sword. Chain mail, longbow, harquebus, pike-and the thin-bladed misericord that could slip between the plates to pluck a man's life from his ribs. The battle-dented, brutally functional field armor of the 14th century; the intricately inlaid and painted parade armor of the 16th. Both of these accounts of arms and armor cover the ground well...
