...attempt to bolster the squad after the Buffalo fiasco, coach John Yovicsin will move Dick McLaughlin up to the starting quarterback position and will promote speedy sophomore Larry Repsher to the starting halfback spot. Against Buffalo, Repsher was certainly the Crimson's most impressive offensive threat, and Yovicsin will count heavily on him and Chet Boulris to give the Crimson a chance for an upset...
...Ralph T. Reed also sent personal letters to 22,000 corporation presidents. More than 300 American Expressmen started knocking on doors of executive suites all round the U.S. to sell the credit card (charge: $6 per year for initial card, $3 for other members of the same firm).

Chief reason: many Congressmen felt that the bill would aid mainly those big international producers who are making money anyway and are doing most of the importing that...
...wiping out corruption way back when he was in military college, of how he slowly gathered his band of followers, of how "the agents and spies" of the old regime almost caught up with him in 1956. Finally, when in early July he was ordered into Jordan to bolster King Hussein, El-Kassim "read in the eyes and movements of the people" that the time to strike had come. He had no appetite for putting down Jordan troubles, for, as members of the junta like...
