Flipping a Fillip. Baltimore was double-teaming Cleveland's Split End Paul Warfield, so Collins had only one man to beat. Midway in the third quarter, he did a fancy little two-step, left Colt Defender Jerry Logan sprawled on the turf, gathered in a picture pass from Ryan for 42 yds. and another TD. Lou Groza boosted the score to 20-0 with his second field goal. In the fourth quarter, Collins added the final fillip-reaching back over his shoulder to pull in another wonderful 41-yd. pass at the 10, shrugging Defensive Halfback Bobby Boyd...

In the end there is one fillip that has caused some political eyebrows to swivel: Andrew Johnson, after he filled out the remainder of Lincoln's second term, was followed in the White House by a Republican whose last name began with...
...Greco-Roman architecture. Even the marble ornamentation bespeaks the Renaissance virtues of knowledge and diversity. Military trophies, helmets and maces share the stone with musical instruments; there is a sculptural bestiary of basilisks and griffins, scrolled foliage and fruits. Proudly, the young grandee could not resist a final fillip: carved in the marble is a continuous frieze in Latin which proclaims that he "erected this castle as the castle of his title...
