Fearing collision, he ordered a sharp turn to port, personally pushed the button for the prescribed two-short-blast signal for port turn, and sent Andrea Doria churning through the dark sea at more than 20 knots in a desperate effort to cross in front of Stockholm. When Stockholm began her turn, Calamai testified, she sounded no warning signal. Had he been warned by signal of her starboard turn, he could still have swung to starboard. "Would that have avoided a collision?" asked a lawyer for the Italian Line. "Certainly," said Piero Calamai...
...Boston last week, Mantovani and a 45-piece orchestra (mostly of U.S. musicians) jampacked staid old Symphony Hall on the first leg of a 60-city tour. The crowd, a cross section of the musical public from teen-agers to grandparents, was there to listen rather than to participate.

In Molloy, published in the U.S. last year, the hero is a cripple who tries to cross a forest to get home to his mother and has some scabrous sexual encounters en route. Malone is headed for a more universal home, the grave. Indeed, all that can be said with certainty about the plot of Malone Dies is that Malone does...
Second-hand intelligence shows the Redman beat Williams, 17 to 38, which is a strong cross country showing. However, since no one knows much about the strength of Williams, little can be gleaned from this...
