...upperclassman to ask "By your leave, sir." In the well-outfitted rooms, other cadets pored over manuals, searching for instructions on where to place skivvies in the gleaming walnut dressers, where to hang battle jackets behind the handsome sliding panels of their closets. Instead of commands from a bull-voiced sergeant, they got fresh instructions from a softly modulated public-address system, and instead of a bulletin board, they watched a panel of code lights that blinked out the kind of uniform to be worn for supper formation...
Round Table inherited his speed from his dam, an English mare with a fast past named Knight's Daughter, and his endurance from his sire, the rugged. Irish-bred Princequillo. Foaled on the Kentucky farm of A. B. ("Bull'') Hancock, Round Table was running as a three-year-old in 1957 when he caught the fancy of his present owner.

Fingerprints quickly fingered "Doe" as Frank Henry Kierdorf, 56, bull-voiced business agent of Flint's Teamster Local 332 and one of Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa's 40-odd crooked business agents (i.e., personal representatives).

Then his own Manhattan lawyer added to Papa's fury by implying in court that the Old Man of the Plea did not want the stories in print because they favored the Red-backed Spanish Loyalists. Rumbled Papa: "I gave him hell for it. I have not changed my attitude about the Spanish civil war. I was for the Loyalists, and I still feel that way about the Loyalists." Actually, explained Hemingway, the stories...
...While the Fed thought its action would act as a damper on speculation, changes in margins have usually had almost no effect on the market (see chart). After a brief dip last week, the market closed the week at 510.13, only 11 points under the alltime bull market top. Stock Exchange President G. Keith Funston complained that the Fed's action was unnecessary, pointed out that despite the six months' rise, customer credit on non-Government securities was $4,226,000,000 in June, virtually the same as a year...
