Husband Philip, advertising promotion man for the Lima (Ohio) Citizen, was taking a nap when Barbara felt the bag of waters break. A registered nurse and already mother of three, she calmly phoned for an ambulance before awakening her husband. And at St. Rita's Hospital, where Dr. Vernon Noble found her in excellent health, she got just the sort of treatment she had asked for: only a local anesthetic before delivery. Baby girl No. 1 (4 lbs. 2½ oz.) arrived at 3:27 p.m.; No. 2 (same weight...
...opening work of the program, Hindemith's Nobilissima Visione, left absolutely no taste at all: it was just another work from the Hindemith grab-bag, competently performed. The suite contains five selections from an unsuccessful ballet which Hindemith began in 1919 on a commission from Diaghilev.

The jurors never had a serious argument, and have already made plans for an annual reunion. When it was all over, Judge Herlands offered the seven men and six women immunity from all future federal jury duty. Proud of their service, none have accepted...
Povich reported that Marshall "left town, bag and baggage." Soon after Retired Air Force General Elwood R. Quesada, former chairman of the Federal Aviation Agency, bought into the Senators in 1960, the Post's Povich, egged on by Post Publisher Philip Graham, began complaining. Povich thought that baseball was too important to be entrusted to generals. The Senators finished last in 1962, and Quesada, smarting from numerous Povich attacks, sold out his interest last month for a profit. "The team, like Quesada." exulted Povich, "is richer for his retirement...
