...carrying his right as though, in Patterson's phrase, it was "a diamond." In the second round, catching Patterson's head with the feared right, Johansson peered anxiously to see the effect. Feigning injury, Patterson went into retreat with the hope of luring Johansson into reckless attack. Cautious, Johansson did not follow...
...that Lady Attlee, 63, wife of Britain's former Laborite Prime Minister, will have a traffic accident every so often. Last week, for the ninth time in 13 years, her car was on the receiving end of a collision. As in the other crashes, Her Ladyship, an understandably cautious driver by now, was neither injured nor held at fault.

This collective leadership, says one manager, "works...
...FINSTERWALD, 30, needs only a hairline mustache to look like a riverboat gambler, but he too often plays golf like an old maid: a top hole-by-hole tactician, his cautious strategy is simply to finish well up in the money (since 1958 Finsterwald has won only 10 of his 105 tournaments, but finished fifth or better 48 times, including 16 seconds). Son of a lawyer in Athens, Ohio, Finsterwald went to Ohio University, developed an all-round game to compensate for his slight, hollow-chested build (5 ft. 10 in., 160 Ibs.). Finsterwald's steady brand of play avoids...
