...Candidate." Into the imbroglio dropped the British Fascist Party, a gang of racists who decided to bring the color question into the by-election campaign with a vengeance, even though Gordon Walker and his Tory opponent, Leyton Engineer Ronald Buxton, tried to soft-pedal it. Nastily and noisily, the neo-Nazis invaded Gordon Walker's first campaign rally in Leyton, were only repulsed after Gordon Walker threw a right uppercut and Labor's burly Defense Minister Denis Healey hurled the Fascist leader, Colin Jordan, off the platform into the front...
This year, Evansville's Purple Aces are acting more like the Purple Gang-knocking off Iowa, Northwestern, Notre Dame, George Washington and Louisiana State. On the night after Christmas, while 12,203 fans screamed themselves hoarse and a platoon of cheerleaders bounded about the court, Evansville trampled a good Massachusetts team, 113-82.

Even mock games with rolls of toilet paper seem to crackle with terroristic menace. The Negroes spew the vilest of obscenities at Karolis and each other. On any absolute scale, the dialogue is air pollution of the highest scatological and pornographic density ever recorded on a U.S. stage. Relative...
...Brink's heist in Boston, Edgar Hoover's announcement, carried by both national wire services prematurely declared that "intensive investigation by the FBI for the past six years has resulted in the solution of the million dollar Brink's robbery. Of the eleven members of the gang responsible for the robbery, the FBI this morning arrested six." When word leaked to the Chicago Daily News that two of the six cops arrested for burglary in 1960 were ready to talk in exchange for lighter sentences, the paper refused at first to publish the story, even though...
