Pitchers have always been targets for trouble. But even for Herbert Jude Score, a young man whose luck has always been bad, this looked like the worst break yet. At three, a bakery truck crushed both legs; later he got pneumonia, then went to bed for eight months with rheumatic fever. In his early teens it was a broken ankle and acute appendicitis. A $60,000 Indian bonus baby at 19, he has not had a healthy summer since. But a dislocated collarbone, pneumonia again, a severe virus attack and a spastic colon could not keep him from running...
...Then the bed of the trailer reared slowly upward like the body of a dump truck, carrying the X-13 to a vertical position. It was now hanging by an undernose hook from a short length of cable strung between two movable arms at the top of the vertical trailer bed. Its engine roared louder, and slowly the Vertijet rose, standing on an invisible column of hot racing gases. Its hook now free from the cable, it rose higher. Then it curved gracefully into normal, horizontal flying position and roared away out of sight...
...goes to St. Mary of the Lake, a parochial school, where she maintains a 97 average in the seventh grade. She arrives at the studio only 45 minutes before the show, ad-libs most of her 17 minutes of lines. With mother in charge, she hurries home, gets to bed by 9.

Last week her composure was put to the test: when Susan put a dish of dog food before Rusty, he lifted one leg and washed away network hopes of luring...
...election, Wyszynski had another chance to stave off disaster. A group of students in a college near Warsaw decided to stage a march on the Russian embassy, gathering support as they went along. It was 2 a.m. when the cardinal awoke to find a young student standing by his bed. The student explained the plan, and warned: "They are going to march at 4." Wyszynski leapt from his bed and sped to the college, where he roused the students and announced that he would say Mass. The would-be demonstrators thought that he was blessing their cause, and when Mass...
...second husband, Critic Edmund Wilson, in The Wound and the Bow considered decisive to the character of a writer-the wound for which a life of writing must compensate. In the flu epidemic of 1918 Mary McCarthy's parents died, and she was an orphan in a strange bed in a strange city-Minneapolis. Mary and her brothers were condemned to razorstrop beatings in the downstairs lavatory by a hated uncle. Her Uncle Myers is now dead, but the narrative of life under his hateful roof (presents were taken away because they were "too good'') should serve...
