...Bears are the dullest team in pro football- to anybody but a connoisseur of crunch. They hug the ground defiantly, pass only under duress, rank No. 8 in the fourteen-team N.F.L. m scoring (with 233 points) and No. 11 in total offense (with 3,329 yds.). That kind of football is hardly calculated to win friends and influence fans: last month, when the Bears beat the lowly Los Angeles Rams 6-0 on the strength of two field goals they played most of the second half to the accompaniment of home-town boos But the Bears make no excuses...
...blond little Peter Eichhorn, 2½ years old and toddling through the woods beside his twelve-year-old brother, the cold war did not exist. He was aware only of the grass tickling his legs, the fun-crunch of dry leaves, the scent of pine needles, the zigzag flight of a butterfly. Suddenly, during an unguarded moment, Peter dashed off, bent on exploration and discovery.

Macmillan, who will be 69 next month, said...
...Bourbons a Day. Del Webb's baseball days ended in 1925 with a crunch of cracked ribs and torn ligaments, sliding home from second on a short single, followed by a bout of typhoid fever that brought his weight down from 204 Ibs. to 99 Ibs. When he was on his feet again, he landed a job with a small contractor in Phoenix. One day, when he was working on the construction of a new grocery store, his paycheck bounced, and his employer disappeared. The grocer asked young Webb to take over the job, and the Del E. Webb...
