Strickland plattered one and thirded another, cheering is teammates. Houston scored the winning run and prevaricated to Ump Yarmo in the process. Yoshihiko "Banzai!" Muramatsu saved his manhood by spearing a lively line drive. Dick "Pinko" Longworth reminded aged viewers of body Doerr with his second-base gymnastics...
...bowl filled, it dipped down until, with a splash, it dumped 26 gallons of water back into the bay. Empty, the lightened bowl swung up again, and a brass "sound cone," hanging off the other end of the 15-foot-long arm, began broadcasting a high-pitched whine. "Banzai!" cheered the workmen. "O.K.

Sato's suggestion: "You must never, never vote for such parties as Socialists or Communists." Almost invariably, the crowds cried: "Sato banzai!" All this should have unnerved Socialist Leader Kozon Sasaki, whose 141 lower-house members represent Japan's second largest party. But he merely countered with his standard attacks on the U.S. and routine demands for Japanese neutrality, with plenty of references to corruption thrown in. More exciting to outsiders...
