...Chicago Black Hawks' Bobby Hull has been called the "perfect muscular mesomorph." He is the National Hockey League's Most Valuable Player, its fastest skater (upward of 23 m.p.h.) and hardest shooter (his lefthanded slap shot rockets toward the net at 118 m.p.h.). Goalies complain that getting in the way of a Bobby Hull shot is "like being slugged with a sledge hammer," and practically everybody agrees with Montreal's Claude Provost that Hull is "the strongest guy in hockey." He even looks mean when he smiles, because he is missing his three front teeth...

Qualified workers are hardest to find in such industries as shipbuilding, aircraft and aerospace, metals, machinery and tools. In many cities, there is also a growing scarcity of teachers, nurses, social-welfare workers and even typists. Labor pirating by firms has broken out in the Midwest as a result of shortages of ironworkers, carpenters and cement masons. Contractors in Springfield, 111., are so short of bricklayers that they have enticed 15 Irish craftsmen to immigrate to the U.S., are clamoring for 40 more.
