...familiar tu when speaking to one another, but there is no doubt who is boss. A TIME correspondent recently watched Marquot among his workers. Against the eerie background of a dozen gaping furnaces belching fire, men & women moved swiftly as fireflies carrying red-hot glass at the end of prongs, molding, blowing, cooling.

...almost a month the National Hockey League played before unfilled houses as though every man's heart was set on winning the Lady Byng Trophy (hockey's award for gentlemanly conduct). Last week in Chicago Stadium, hot-tempered Defenseman Kenny Reardon of the Montreal Canadiens put an end to all that...
