...wish he were kinder to tourists, to modern arrangement of pictures in the Uffiizi, to the motorcycles in Ravenna. These, after all, are the facts of life for modern Italy. Berenson seems to resent them for purely egocentric reasons: because they distract his own concentration, or in some way jibe with his memories of the past...
...when he learned he had won after all. Though the timers all put Larson ahead, two of the three judges claimed they saw Devitt's hand slap the wall first. Since the judges' decision is what counts, the victory went to the Aussie. To make the facts jibe with their opinions, officials simply changed Larson's clocking of 55.1 to 55.2, the same time turned in by Devitt. A U.S. protest was disallowed.

Patrolman Philip Colwell was making a routine check of the treatment and disposal of stray dogs in New Haven when he found that the numbers did not jibe.

It gets beneath none of the skin it flays. Nor does The Gang's All Here always jibe with the facts. Harding (inside the party) was no such convention dark horse as he is made out to be; nor was he quite such an incredible babe in the wood; nor did he gain so much stature at the end. There are several good performances in the play...
