...small that half of his jersey number (16) runs down into his pants, Substitute Quarterback Perez came off the bench in the second half to complete ten out of twelve passes for 107 yds. He seemed to be throwing out of a hole. But he managed to get the ball away; coolly he turned the last 43 seconds of the game into the longest moments of the afternoon. With his team behind 17-13 and Levias glassy-eyed from a tackle, Perez made those hot summer practice sessions...
...twilight of his long and laudable career, Bernard Baruch was invariably characterized as an adviser to Presidents or a park-bench philosopher who doled out wisdom from a seat in Central Park or Lafayette Square. Admirers tended to forget-Baruch never did-that in the forenoon of that career, he had also been one of Wall Street's craftiest speculators. Baruch could be bearish or bullish. He once sold Amalgamated Copper short and realized $700,000 when Amalgamated reduced a dividend, causing its overpriced stock to tumble. Another time, alerted by a newspaperman that Commodore Schley had beaten...
...says an ad in Gun World promoting hand loading. A comely matron is shown holding a plateful of cartridges as if it were a pie, while her three admiring daughters look on.

Hence the excitement last week after a decree handed down at London's Queen's Bench Court. There, concluding 43 days of hearings on the question of continued fixed retail prices in the candy industry, a panel of bewigged judges decided that they should be unfixed. Britain's five major candymakers-George Bassett & Co. Ltd., Cadbury Brothers Ltd., J.S. Fry & Sons Ltd., John Mackintosh & Sons Ltd., and Rowntree & Co. Ltd.-were...
Macbeth is also endowed with a hypersensitive imagination. Colicos constantly reacts in little ways to the strange sounds that abound around Inverness Castle (this production has a highly active off-stage soundtrack). The dagger soliloquy comes after he dozes off on a bench; he starts to hallucinate in a half-awake state, and seems hardly to be aware of his own real dagger, which he draws but then drops on the floor. When he goes upstairs to murder Duncan, he carries his dagger behind his back. On returning, he holds two bloody daggers in one hand--again behind his back...
