...between the uprights-so most of the spectators thought. But Referee Bill Halloran thought otherwise, ruled the kick wide.

...Seven (by Paul Osborn; produced by Dwight Deere Wiman). Two seasons ago the Broadway critics threw their hats in the air over Playwright Osborn's On Borrowed Time, a deft piece of flimsy-whimsey about a small boy, an old man, and Death kept at bay in an apple tree.

When Pitcairn's native radio operator, Andrew Young, shipped VR6AY's ailing equipment off for repairs, he wrote to several U. S. radio ham acquaintances. A landslide, he said, had damaged the islanders' boats in Bounty Bay; rats (mostly Bounty descendants, too) were eating up the island's few crops, had even got into the orange trees; everybody was well but supplies were running low; the only hope of hearing from the outside world was through a tiny crystal set with only a 60-mile range, too short to reach the nearest shipping lane...
