Republican Ellen Borden Stevenson, ex-wife of the Democrats' Standard Bearer Adlai Stevenson, hit her low boiling point in Chicago upon learning that burglars had ransacked her country house in Libertyville. Among the stolen items: a big polar-bear skin, stationery, a 300-lb. safe (empty). A couple of days later the phantoms struck again, but took nothing. Next night somebody tried to pry open the trunk of Ellen's car, parked in the estate's driveway. Now infuriated to the vaporization point, Mrs. Stevenson fired off to local newspapers a press release that conjured...

A $6,000,000 building program was under way, and the university's prestige had never been higher. In a sense, it had become the center of the territory's hopes for the future-the producer, as Ernest Patty had said, of "courageous young men and women who will go out and accept the challenge of the north country...
...pitching the best ball of his life. With Outfielder Hank Bauer on the sidelines now, with a pulled muscle, and Mickey Mantle hobbled, the Yankees never had a chance. Their righthanded fireballer Bob Turley lasted only 1⅓ innings. Morgan, Kucks and Sturdivant did little better. Mantle managed to hit a home run, but Campanella matched him and Robinson once more ran wild on the base paths. Final score: Dodgers 8, Yankees...
