...like a Dixie Gatsby. At one celebrated Boykinalia in 1949, nearly every VIP in Washington came to Frank's house to sample a potpourri from his favorite huntin' and fishin' spots. There was salmon from Quebec, pheasant from the Dakotas, antelope from Wyoming, elk from Montana, bear from Georgia-not to mention coon, possum, squirrel and deer from his own 100,000-acre preserve in Alabama...
...react to provocation? If one commitment is not met in one place, ask yourself what other commitments elsewhere would mean. We will not ask the American people to neglect a commitment in one place and maintain one in another place. The American people will be called upon to bear heavy burdens in the corning year.

So far this season, an average of 41 points has been scored in each A.F.L. game; N.F.L. teams have scored an average of 45. The top punter in pro football (at 46.9 yds. per punt) is Gary Collins of the N.F.L.'s Cleveland Browns; the next two are American Leaguers. True, the A.F.L. has no runner to match Cleveland's Jimmy Brown. But the American League...
