...Push, Man, Push!" Just three days later in Detroit, chunky "Chuck" Vinci, concentrating so hard that he managed a kind of self-hypnosis before each lift, beat Russia's Vladimir Stogov with the help of a hefty 231¼ lb. snatch. Dave Sheppard, heeding his teammates' shouts to "Push, man, push!'', lifted a total of 1,013¾ Ibs. for a second U.S. victory. The final score was Russia...
...give British girls scant chance to "blossom into pretty, well-dressed young women." Recently one girls' school decided that a modest blossoming might not bring on moral blight: Headmistress Eileen Evans of Bedfordshire's Luton High School announced that her sixth-formers (mostly 17-year-olds) could chuck their uniforms, put on regular dresses, nylons and makeup -but no jewelry.

Basic Confidence. No one probed his district more energetically than Michigan Republican Charles E.

The people, as Maine Democrat Frank Coffin put it, displayed "powerful basic confidence in the American economy." The confidence was grounded not on Washington slogans...
...artificial respiration-"what to do in case of drowning or being electrocuted." Slezak had the answer to that. "You call the fire department, naturally. There's an emergency truck they got, with oxygen inside-a pulmotor-everything you need. What's next?" The young called him Uncle Chuck, and he was happy. But soon he was in his usual jam -the boys found the camping ground cold and hard, and so did he; he bundled them all off to a motel, and everybody thought he had kidnaped them. Scripter John Vlahos could not resist the predictable switcheroo...
