Quick Book. Hall's preparation for blocking a shot begins even before the opposing forwards hurtle toward him.

Room 455 at Hoover High School in Glendale, Calif, contains a red-tailed hawk that eats horsemeat, a sinister 8-ft. anaconda, hordes of white rats, a map of every ant colony in the vicinity and George Cassell, 28, an exuberant young man who grew up at the foot of Mt.

Then, with disheartening ease, he moved past the leaders and began to draw away. Rounding the last turn, he saw his coach waving a white shirt as a signal that he had a chance to break his own world record of 3:36. Thereupon Australia's Herb...
...losses on commuter services in northern N.J. Pennsylvania and Lackawanna will each receive $1,600,000, Jersey Central $1,300,000; rest will go to others joining plan. $100 REBATE will be given to any one of Studebaker-Packard's 200,000 shareholders who buys a 1960 Lark, Hawk or Champ truck in July, August or September. Deal, first in auto industry history, is expected to boost Studebaker's lagging sales...
