...Mount Stromlo Observatory has an excellent potential, but several of its instruments are not operative, and Bok calls it "an incomplete jig-saw puzzle, one that one feels should not be difficult to put right." Mount Stromlo uses optical, not radio telescopes, and while Bok will be cooperating with the Sydney Radiophysics Laboratory, he will generally be giving up his radio work, which, incidentally, has emphasized the co-ordination of optical and radio techniques for astrophysical research...
...trusted. Chapman walked into Truman's suite, saw Sam Rosenman sitting there, dug an elbow deep in Rosenman's heavily larded ribs, and snapped: "Get out of here, Sam. I want to talk to the President." But by the time Chapman left, he knew Stevenson's jig was up as far as Truman was concerned...
...tired, taut and testy Jim Hagerty, newsmen realized that Ike still had a Levin tube down his throat, a needle in his arm for feeding, a temperature and pulse only "essentially" normal. By Hagerty's own description the President still "did not feel like doing a jig." Had he actually, they pressed, made the decision himself? Or had he assented meekly to a judgment already made?

...Anchored by Irish Ron Delany, Villanova's medley relay team ran the distance (2½ miles) in jig time (a meet-record of 9:58.1) at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia to beat Oxford's English invaders by a long 20 yds. Next day when the Britons came back to run off with the four-mile and two-mile relays, Villanova and Delany retaliated by taking the sprint medley and setting another meet record (3:11.9) in the one-mile relay. Pitt's Arnie Sowell, U.S. Olympic hope at 800 meters, got no help from his teammates...
Enter Hitler (Albin Skoda). The generals give him the bad news; he spits black bile and throws them out. Goebbels brings in the astrologer. "Im August Sieg!" At news of Roosevelt's death, the Führer does a jig. When Speer and Göring try to tell him the war is lost, he vests command in the SS. A squad of Hitler youth, who have done men's work in the battles before Berlin, are marched in to be decorated. Hitler pats their cheeks, pins medals on them and gives each one an éclair...
