...rodeo is something that has to be smelled to be believed. The World's championship Rodeo in Boston Garden is wholly credible. From the incongruous bars of "Yours' to the closing "yowees" of the wild horse race, Boston Garden is a real, wild corral. All the best broncs are there: country Butter, Sling Shot, Pig Eye, Drunkard, and the best rides and the prettiest girls. Also The Range Rider and his Saddle Pal. The Range Rider wears blue suede shoes...
...event snacks of realism, and it is very real in Event No. Four when a steer wrestler gets gored in the midriff. The Brahma bulls are pretty tough to ride, too, and they come charging down the sidelines roaring and throwing their horns about. Customers eight feet above the corral are warned to keep their fingers and toes inside, "No telling what one of these bulls will do. Keep your children back!" says the announcer...
Hotelman Conrad Hilton, who hates to pass up a good deal, last week was busy roping still another hotel into his bulging corral. Hilton announced that he had bought Houston's lavish (TV, air conditioning, Muzak, a 165-ft. swimming pool), 1,100-room Shamrock Hotel, opened in 1949 by Wildcatter Glenn McCarthy.

Representative was either present or paired-a rare occurrence in the House-and only ten of them stood up with the Democrats. Under the spur of Minority Leader Sam Rayburn, the Democrats' showing...
...outfit, calling itself the C.G.P. (General Confederation of Professionals), began operation with a staff of ten Education Ministry employees three months ago, has since signed up some 40 professional associations (including astronomers, accountants, librarians, lawyers). Its goal is to corral 1,250,000 members-or virtually all of Argentina's white-collar workers. In a blunt speech to C.G.T. leaders, Peron warned that they must accept the new federation, and that there will be no wage increases when contracts expire next March. By dividing labor. Peron apparently hopes to hold out against union demands that would...
