...past 177 years-a record of almost continuous action that has led them literally from the shores of Tripoli to the Halls of Montezuma and on to the ridges of Korea. That record is sustained by the soul-shaking rigors of Marine training that turns a shave-headed boot into a dedicated fighting man whose faith is in his rifle and whose religion is his corps. And it is nourished by the legendary heroes of the Marines' past: Commandant William Ward Burrows, who in 1800 ordered one Marine shavetail to redress an insult from a naval officer with...
...Arctic exercises in Labrador-for no one knows where Marines might go next. Besides the First Division in Korea, the corps has two trained divisions, each with its air arm, waiting stateside for trouble-the Second at Camp Lejeune, N.C., the Third at Camp Pendleton (see color pages), Calif. Boot camps at Parris Island, S.C. and San Diego are hup-reeping steadily away at rebuilding civilian youths to the sunburned, stiff-backed Marine mold, and pumping them into the service...
...years since Casey Stengel began managing baseball teams, he has had more than his share of rags with the riches. Bouncing around between the major and minor leagues, Casey has gone through the familiar managerial cycle, sticking with his clubs when they are winning, getting the boot when they are down.

Finally at 17:45 of the third period a Crimson play paid off. Fullback Bob Sobel lofted a long boot of Knowlton at right outside, and he kicked a pretty cross to Mauricio Toro in front of the Terrier goal. Toro beat the goalie to the goal and shot...
...Each boot is a leather "saddle" which supports Ferrer's thigh, knee and upper leg when his knees are bent. The boots themselves are supported by a canvas shoulder harness, which pulls the calves of both legs tightly against his thighs. Fitted to the bottom of the knees are fake shoes. Obviously, only camera angles which do not show Ferrer's real feet (i.e., front and close-up views) can be used. Since the boots are tight and painful-pressure on his kneecaps cuts off blood circulation-Ferrer wears them for only 20 minutes at a time, keeps...
