...driver having trouble parking his yellow Cadillac looked familiar, and Denver police moved in for a closer look. Sure enough, there was Sonny Liston, apparently full of yuletide cheer, or so the cops thought. It took ten bulls to wrestle the Big Bear off to city jail, and another two or three deputies to wring out his fingerprints. The prints were hardly necessary. He was nabbed last March for speeding and for packing a concealed pistol, for which he was fined $600 and given a suspended jail sentence. This time the rap is drunken driving, and if convicted...
...fertile brains of German scientists gave the world its first military missiles and jet planes. After the war, the U.S. took over the technological lead, bringing its vast resources to bear on rocketry and space exploration. Last week an important corporate alliance joined the two traditions.

Some citizens of Phoenix, Albuquerque, and points in between will strap skis on top of their station wagons, in apparent defiance of the dry, hot desert air, and head for Ski Cloud Croft or Sierra Blanca in the Sacramento mountains north of Alamogordo...
...also a tough (or tuff), tough head, tough fox or stone fox. If the boy is a blip, he is said to be whipped by an ugly stick. But if boy and girl are stoked about each other, they mouse or scarf, which is the same as playing huggy-bear, smacky lips, smash-mouth and kissy face...
