Chicago's municipal water-supply inlets and those of industries that draw water directly from the lake became clogged time and again with the little (two-to-seven-inch) alewives. Off Benton Harbor, Mich., an aerial photographer reported a ribbon of dead fish 50 ft. wide and 40 miles long floating on the surface of the lake...
...Cream Trucks. Tel Aviv's residents got the news only 30 minutes after the first air-raid siren, as Radio Kol Israel interrupted its regular broadcast to announce that heavy fighting had begun against "Egyptian armored and aerial forces which moved against Israel." Lively Jewish folk tunes, rousing Israeli pioneer songs and stirring military marches, including the theme song from The Bridge on the River Kwai, filled the air waves until Defense Minister Dayan came on.

Tall and taut at 6 ft. 2 in. and 195 lbs., Olds weighs 10 lbs. less than he did as an All-America tackle on West Point's 1943 football team, has recently sprouted a chestnut R.A.F.-style handlebar mustache that horrified his wife, former Movie Actress Ella Raines, when she visited her husband...
