...game always leaves Patton so taut that he has long given up any thoughts of sleep for that night. With Dick Nolan, the Giants' other safety man, Patton often stalks the deserted streets of Manhattan until dawn. But he makes a special point not to brood about any opposition receiver who got away for a touchdown. "If I could stop every pass," says the Giants' Jimmy Patton, "no one could afford to pay my salary...
Carolina Maria de Jesus, a tall Negro woman with three illegitimate children, each by a different man, lived in a teeming favela (slum) in São Paulo. At dawn she queued up for water at a public spigot, an empty oil can on her head. To buy bread and rice, she scavenged scrap paper, selling it to a junkman and getting as much as 30? "on good days."

Brigitte believes not, and loyally bounces about Paris trying to catch the real felon before the law puts the arm on her husband...
...team. Chris planes high and flat in the water like a surfboard, has a sea lion's endurance-and a teen-ager's superstition about a good-luck plastic frog, which she solemnly stations by her starting block before a race. Her challengers: Australia's Dawn Fraser, 22, an octogenarian by swimming standards, and the slumping, doubt-ridden Ilsa Konrads, the 16-year-old kid sister of John. World Record Holder Fraser will be the favorite in the 100 meters (her main threat: Chris von Saltza), and a dark horse in the 100-meter butterfly, thereby stands...
