...meticulous politeness Sam Newhouse does not quite conceal an oversupply of nervous energy. He characteristically sits on the edge of a chair; and he has the attitude of a man who is just about to dash for a train. He is a chronic door opener and reacher-for-the-check. He generally keeps several $100 bills in his wallet so that he can pay cash for the dinner tab wherever he eats...
...group portrait. With him, all the contrived clumsiness of his predecessors vanished. His Banquet of Officers of the St. Joris-Doelen is so composed that while each man retains his individuality, he is linked by gesture and expression to the whole. The seated figure in the foreground provides a dash of humor: he holds his glass upside down to show he is out of wine. In 1621 a city ordinance ruled that these banquets should not last more than three or four days. Previously, they tended to go on for a week...
...carefully nursing his German Porsche through the 219½-mile race at a slow (relatively) but sure average speed of 101.9 m.p.h. while faster cars broke down and dropped out. - Tennessee State's Wilma Rudolph Ward, lithe triple gold-medal winner at the 1960 Olympics; the 100-yd. dash at the women's National A.A.U. championships; in 10.8 sec., only .1 sec. off her own meet record...

Leckie has a low opinion of General Douglas MacArthur, whom he charges with making a fatal mistake in splitting his forces for the dash to the Yalu River. Result was the disastrous rout of U.S. forces by the Chinese Communists, so poignantly described by S.L.A. Marshall in The River and the Gauntlet. But Leckie believes that the war was worth its high cost of 33,629 American lives. "In Korea." he writes, "invasion...
...DASHES: Villanova's chunky Frank Budd, world-record holder (9.2 sec.) in the 100-yd. dash and undefeated at that distance in two years. But in the Walnut Meet, closely pressed by Florida A. & M.'s 19-year-old Robert Hayes, Budd tore a thigh muscle and pulled up lame. But with Hayes (who clocked a sizzling 9.3 sec. at the nationals) running in the 100 meters, Paul Drayton (who turned in a record-tying 20.5 sec. for 220 yds. around a turn) racing in the 200 meters, and Ulis Williams (whose...
