...unit, and have been assigned to a special platoon at Fort Lewis, Wash., where they were sent for basic training. Probably because of their stint at the Job Corps center, they averaged several points higher than the norm on the induction test. Without that added education, said Recruiting Sergeant Darryl Adkins-himself a veteran paratrooper-only one out of four might have qualified for the airborne elite...
...rock aviators who converged on Reno for last week's National Championship Air Races divided naturally into two classes. There were the pros, like Lockheed Test Pilot Darryl Greenamyer, 31, who won the "unlimited" championship in a surplus Navy Grumman Bearcat, wrenching his way around an eight-mile course at 396 m.p.h.

In the end, Marvin makes it back to a base hospital with the sole remnant of the patrol. There, a general praises them for a job well done and fatuously commutes the sentences of the prisoners-posthumously...
...finest hour," boasted an Israeli spokesman. "Or did it take longer than that?" Darryl Zanuck announced plans for a zillion-dollar war movie entitled The Shortest Day. Cassius Clay, the erstwhile Muhammad Ali, changed his name to Morris Steinberg. Ten bar mitzvahs were scheduled at the Nile Hilton, and Jennie Grossinger agreed to manage the hotel...
