...balcony. By the tenth round, Bassey's left eye was cut, and his right eye was beginning to close. Moore opened up with left hooks and right uppercuts that had the challenger tottering backward in a grotesque little dance. At the bell, Bassey weakly raised Moore's hand, then refused to come out for the eleventh. "I'm getting beaten too badly," he told Referee Frankie Van. "I'm through...
Spreading a blanket in the alfalfa, Lamore lay on his back, braced his boots in stirrups on the shaft, pulled back the string with both hands and sent a 25-in. fir-and-pine arrow whiffling into the sun. When bug-eyed officials at the 75th annual tournament of the National Archery Association finally found Lamore's arrow 937.13 yds. away, they discovered that he had broken the old N.A.A. record for distance flight by nearly 50 yds.

...this glossy French import, the gloomy patriarch of the dynasty (banks, refineries, mines, newspapers) is white-thatched Jean Gabin, a cold-eyed, cunning old autocrat.

Above a billowing green gown that looked like a collapsed circus tent (but still could not hide the hefty Laughton paunch), the famed suet-pudding face was almost obscured by a wild halo of home-grown white whiskers and an unkempt shoulder-length mane of home-grown...
...highceilinged, limestone palace of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem in the Greek city of Rhodes, the policy-making Central Committee of the World Council of Churches gathered last week for its tenth annual meeting. On hand were 72 delegates from 24 countries, plus 36 staff members and 73 observers and guests. But the center of all attention were the delegates of seven Eastern Orthodox member churches and the two observers from Russian Orthodoxy-the first visitors Moscow had allowed to attend a Central Committee meeting. Behind the scenes, a major game of diplomatic move and countermove is going...
