Died. Walter Gibson, 63, Wall Street broker widely credited as the sole inventor of the subspecial martini that bears his surname; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. As a habitue of the Ritz in Paris, Gibson gratified two hitherto mutually exclusive tastes, for dry gin and pickled pearl onions, by schooling the bartender to substitute a single Allium cepa for the conventional olive in his favorite cocktail.

The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission estimates that nowadays, for an investment of $50 million, a country...
With the quarter almost ended, the officials awarded the visitors a free kick on a foul in the Harvard some, and for the first time, a pall fell over the this hand of spectators on the sidelines. The Crimson's hitherto untouched goal line was foremost in everybody's mind, and a hush descended as the Exeter forward addressed the ball and Crimson goalkeeper Norris Childs crouched to defend his nets...
