Early evening crowds thronged the neon-lighted sidewalks of the Spui (The Hague's Broadway). Many of them were moviegoers, eagerly getting down from busily clanging streetcars to see Song of My Heart, Fallen Idol, or Till the Clouds Roll By. A few, however, drifted unobtrusively towards a second-floor meeting room of the bleak Café de Kroon. They were searching for peace of soul and were willing to see if two bearded, 32-year-old Moslem missionaries could show them...
...that 25,932 people did pay to get in to watch the scramble for Joe Louis' abandoned heavyweight crown. They were sorry.

It is Princess Margaret's particular task to extend her hand to passee old Dame Society, and make it seem that everyone is having a ripping time at her parties. Newspapers write about a party that Margaret...
There the established stars and the survivors of 1,302 lesser golfers who spent last week qualifying* would fight it out in the U.S. Open, the tournament Sam Snead called "the daddy of them all." Whatever happened (in two other years he had fallen apart on the greens after having the big prize within his grasp), Sam was certain of one thing: Stan Curtis would never get that putter back...
