...Herman Talmadge is strongest. He had been away too long. Georgia political leaders thought that his moderate position on segregation was an important reason for his most recent loss of political strength. Said Democratic Strategist Roy V. Harris: "If he had just made one speech giving the Supreme Court hell, nobody could have beat...
...broad gold stripes on his sleeve, barges through the door at 31 knots. This freighter-shaped (5 ft. 11 in., 200 Ibs.) admiral, his ties fast to the old Navy and all its traditions, is plunging ahead in a new and astonishing naval era at the same hell-for-weather clip described by a destroyer shipmate from the Solomons Slot: "It's always been the same.

Bruni kept his balance, but one of his volatile teammates unfastened his bicycle pump and bent it over the Pole's head. Out of Lodz, hell-bent for Stalingrod in the fourth lap, the pack got handlebars tangled, and 25 riders dived into a mass pratfall. Shortly afterwards an East German cyclist soared off the road into a river. The Communists proudly emphasized that on-the-spot first aid was better than at any other international bike...
