The 200,000 who lined Madrid's floodlit streets on the night of her arrival knew that Evita-and Argentina-stood for the wheat in their bread. As they saw more of her, on balconies, in the theater, at the bull ring, they learned that she had a way with a Spanish crowd...
Ride Him! Last week on Johns Hopkins' floodlit field, Baltimore's two unbeaten teams squared off against each other.

Only a short time ago, their words and deeds had brought fear to people from Murmansk to Lands End to Jamestown, N.Y. Now they were just an odd and seedy assortment of soldiers, rowdies, bureaucrats and bourgeoisie, who hardly looked important enough to have provoked the heavy wave of hatred, disgust and indignation which had swept them into the prisoners...
