A few minutes later, the central police switchboard came alive with emergency calls from all over Paris. At Vincennes, a group of Algerians, attacking a munitions factory, killed one policeman and wounded another...
...past, sober, hard-working Round Table seems as ordinary as a stable pony. His finishing sprint cannot equal Citation's.

Khrushchev urged Stevenson to talk to Hungarian government officials and hear the true story for himself. Stevenson retorted...
...shows may not pack much fun, but they ooze prizes. Winners have carted away $14,000 cabin cruisers, a day's traffic tolls of the Golden Gate Bridge, a thoroughbred entered in the '59 Kentucky Derby. Home participation via postcard is so common that the U.S. post office probably hauls in more loot than the contestants. A quiz sampler...
