...ceremonies, along with the Secretaries and Chiefs of Staff of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and the chairman of the AEC. Captain Rickover, in civilian clothes even for this occasion, kept in the background, but his work and vision had not gone unappreciated. Secretary of the Navy Dan Kimball awarded him the Legion of Merit for what he called "the most important piece of development work in the history of the Navy...
...five oldsters-four men and a woman-were not the sort to badger officials, but something had made them desperate. Last week they trooped into the office of Colorado's Governor Dan Thornton to present a special petition. "Governor," said one of the men, "I'll bet you a cowboy hat and a new pipe that you can't match this story any place...
...career has been somewhat hindered as well as helped by his spectacular speed and fancy ball-handling. As a high-scoring collegian (15.1 points average), he could carry the day by individual brilliance. As a pro, where the night-after-night competition is much tougher, Cousy's fancy-dan passing sometimes caused costly mistakes.

...their day, the Chicago Cubs trio of Tinker, Evers & Chance pulled the most famed double-plays in baseball. But last week the New York Yankees closed a real-estate deal that was even harder to follow. Yankee Owners Dan Topping and Del Webb sold Yankee Stadium (but not the ball club) for $3,600,000 in cash, and took back a $2,900,000 mortgage and a long-term lease. The buyer: a syndicate headed by Chicago Investor Arnold Johnson, 46, vice chairman of Automatic Canteen Co. of America (of which Topping is also a director) and director...
