After that, the Western envoys (Smith, Britain's Frank Roberts and France's Yves Chataigneau) took off for Paris where the U.N. General Assembly was about to meet. All the other principals converged on Paris-from Washington came Secretary of State Marshall, from London Ernie Bevin, from Berlin General Lucius Clay. The visitors were joined by France's Foreign Minister Robert Schuman. The chief decision they would have to make was whether to continue the delightful talks with Molotov in Paris (if he should decide to come), or whether to throw the Berlin issue into...
...minutes later, in Jerusalem's Katamon quarter (formerly an Arab residential district, now held by Israeli forces), the Count's cream-colored Chrysler was stopped at a roadblock. From a jeep stepped two men in Israeli army uniforms, carrying Sten guns. While U.S. Colonel Frank Begley (a U.N. observer who drove the Count's car) grappled with one of the men, the other looked into the car, recognized the Count, shoved his gun through the window and started shooting.

Board & Room. For Lujack's successor at quarterback, Leahy was counting on Frank Tripucka, a shy, skinny New Jersey senior. Like all but a few Notre Dame players (and like many other college players), 21-year-old Tripucka is "working his way through." In exchange for free room, board and tuition, he does easy campus chores (e.g., painting stadium seats) after football season is over. Last year Tripucka completed 25 passes for 422 yards (Lujack's mark: 61 for 777)-but he was not yet a Lujack at tackling, running, or field generalship...
