Cleary put the varsity ahead 7 to 1 when, with the varsity short one man on a penalty to McClaughlin, he scored on a classic breakaway. The Crimson captain took the puck in front of his own net and literally stickhandled his way through the entire B.C. team to score. The goal gave him his 61st point of the year, 28 behind his brother's recordsetting total of 89. Vietze scored the final varsity goal at 15:41 when he tallied on passes from Bob McVey and Les Duncan...

In the astonishing 1955 decision to divorce satellite development from weaponry, the Vanguard was accepted as having more "dignity." Snorted Wernher von Braun at the time: "I'm all for dignity.

But he thought Grim was starting just a little too fast and he hung back, well off the pace. When Grim faded, Ron got up on his toes and ran for the record...
...biggest in the U.S. (first: Metropolitan Life). Said Insuranceman Shanks: "I'm optimistic. We're pretty close to the end of the downgrade, and we should see an upturn before long. Steel production will start up in March, if not sooner, because steel sales have been running ahead of production; so will textile production and most durable goods for the same reason."
