...pipe on the wall next to the window that at one time had been used for a gas bracket. The pipe had been plugged. I took the plug out and pushed a piece of rubber tubing over the pipe. I put a chink in the tube with a bulldog clip to stop the gas escaping. When they sat in the deck chair with the tube behind them, I took the clip off and let the fumes rise from the back of the deck chair. When they started to be overcome-that's when I must have strangled them...
...Baseman Ed Mathews, 21, Rookie Negro Centerfielder Bill Bruton, 23, and strapping (6 ft. 4 in., 210 Ibs.) First Baseman Joe Adcock, 25. Mathews, a left-handed power hitter, leads both leagues in home runs (19), is second in runs batted in (52), and is hitting at a .318 clip.

Pushing his Jaguar at an 80-m.p.h. clip, Grey went into a spin, flipped over a time and a half, skidded to an upside-down stop just 20 feet from a conspicuous sign: "No Spectator Area." Grey crawled out of the crack-up with only a few bruises. Two spectators were not so lucky. They ended...
...make its way through deep sand. Once the world's biggest automaker. Ford had seen its share of U.S. auto sales drop from 40% in 1930 to 21% in the first postwar year of car production. What was more, in 1946, Ford was losing money at such a clip-$55 million in six months-that even its vast reserves might soon be exhausted...
