...Final Mission. He had hoped to wind up the job by February and get back to Columbia for the spring semester, but Secretary Acheson urged him to take on one final mission. This week Envoy Jessup boarded ship in San Francisco for a five-week swing through the Far East to talk to General MacArthur in Japan, visit Korea, Formosa, the Philippines, and end up in Thailand where he will preside over an extraordinary conference of U.S. chiefs of mission in southeast Asia...
...floodlights in the Sofia courtroom came up full force, concentrating on the miserable defendant in the dock. The court asked Traicho Kostov, once Bulgaria's No. 2 Communist, if he wished to make a final statement.

Its best job is to create conviction in Samson's feats: e.g., his slaughter with the jawbone of an ass looks plausible because the script places him tactically in a narrow defile where he can take...
Garrity scored three goals--all in the final period--and two of them were unassisted. Joe Kittredge, the center, made the other two. Preston played an excellent offensive and defensive game, a performance made all the more incredible by the fact that he was skating on only one leg, because of a knee injury aggravated in the second period...
