Without uttering a word, Tsafendas drew the dagger out of its leather sheath, plunged it three times into Verwoerd's chest and once into his neck. The House looked on in horror, too stunned to move. Verwoerd tried to raise one arm to protect himself, then, confused, used it to brush back his hair. He slumped over, blood spurting through his shirt...
...almost makes up for all the intentional bases on balls, the endless fouls and hopeless pickoff attempts. If any doubt remained about what the U.S. national pastime really is, it was dispelled even before the pro-football season began last week. The National Football League's Baltimore Colts drew 31,000 paying customers to watch, of all things, a scrimmage, while baseball's Baltimore Orioles, the No. 1 team in the American League, could draw only 23,000 fans for an honest-to-goodness game against the second-place Detroit Tigers...
...seven columns soon isolated the Nationalists in their cities and drew them out for costly battles that chewed up whole divisions without gaining ground for either side.

The authors avoid generalizations, but that conclusion is evident in the most exhaustive study to date of the nation's vast Catholic parochial-school system, published last week by the University of Notre Dame. Called Catholic Schools in Action, the 328-page survey, which drew responses from 92% of the nation's Catholic elementary schools and 84% of its high schools, took four years to prepare, and was financed by a $350,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation. The study was directed by Reginald A. Neuwien, former superintendent of public schools in Stamford, Conn...
