...like mud attempting to fly; they were that energetic and that saggy. The combination said something blue about man's estate, the approved tone of most contemporary sculpture. But Frink's ostensible purpose has nothing to do with moral messages or with ideals of any kind, not even plastic ones. "Somebody makes a metal armature for me," she explains, "and I start covering it with quick-drying plaster. I work very fast, often trying to combine the form of a bird with the form of a man. I'm absorbed in forms. When I do a bird...
...even a second-half appearance by balding Forty-Niner Quarterback Y. A. Tittle, still gimpy from an earlier Colt game, could save the day against a gang-tackling Colt defense led by massive (6 ft. 4 in., 240 Ibs.) Gino Marchetti. Final score: Colts 34, Forty-Niners 14. The victory at the least assured the Colts a first-place tie, setting up the prospect of another classic clash for the pro championship between Baltimore and the New York Giants, who won the Eastern Conference title by routing the Cleveland Browns...

Bankers expect even greater pressure when a steel settlement is made and a rush for supplies and postponed expansion exerts new pressure on the money market...
...that time the big seasonal demand will have ended too. Even more important, the Treasury is planning a sharp reduction in its issues in the first half of 1960, may thus help to ease credit or at least prevent it from becoming tighter. The Federal Reserve would like to keep its present discount rate of 4% in effect even after a settlement, looks for interest rates to stay steady. Bankers do not expect a hike in the prime rate of 5% for some time, think that if it comes at all, it will be small...
