...first Guinea Gold was published only at Port Moresby, on creaky linotypes and antiquated flat-bed presses. A month ago a branch was set up at Dobadura, near Oro Bay. Copies are distributed by jeep and mail where feasible, are dropped from planes to forward troops and isolated outposts. Printing and distribution troubles are tremendous and frequent...

Durocher's five-year record was good: one pennant, two seconds, two thirds. But last season the Dodgers had a player revolt, barely finished third. Lippy Leo was as flashy a figure along high-living Broadway as in Ebbets Field. Knowing Rickey's puritanism, many a sportswriter flatly forecast the lumps...
