...Damascus gates. There followed the first of the many escapes that make Paul's life something of a Biblical thriller. Under cover of darkness, he was smuggled into a room with a window in the city's outer wall and then let down in a basket to make his way safely to Jerusalem and his first meeting with Peter and James. Soon he returned to his home town, Tarsus, where he stayed for about a decade until Barnabas brought him to Antioch and the real beginning of his career...
...stageful of workmen still putting the scenery in place. A man in the balcony shouted, "Don't come home too late tonight!" Through a loudspeaker a voice called, "Monsieur Bejart is wanted at the concierge's!" When things quieted down, Puck emerged from a wicker basket, wearing a pair of baby-blue wings, and three saucy minxes (Titania, Hermia. Helena) bumped and ground their way across the stage. In Sonnet for Sister Kate, an untamed shrew in an orange wig and a southof-the-navel decollete shimmied front and center, then disappeared into the wings, where...
Billy proved as adroit and magnetic off the platform as on it.

...figures: the tightly woven worsteds in 1960 will grab 37% of the boys' suit market, 48% of the student trade. Hop-sackings, a coarse, basket-weave pattern of cotton, linen, rayon or wool, will make up nearly one-fourth of both boys' and students' suits. Fading flannel will plummet to 21% of the junior market, a mere 14% of the undergraduate trade. Best explanation for flannel's worsting by worsted, from a buyer in New York's Old School Tie haberdashery. Brooks Brothers: worsteds weigh less, wrinkle less, wear longer-and now are being made...
Even the finest small man in the game is beginning to worry. Boston's great Bob Cousy (6 ft. 1 in., 176 lbs.) sees little point in raising the basket to offset sheer height ("Why penalize someone just because he's 7 ft. tall?"), is more interested in the proposal to zone the floor: one point for successful shots within 6 ft. of the basket; two points for shots from 6 to 25 ft.; three points for shots from farther...
