...Honorable Man. Somehow, Archie finds time for work, too. He is up at 5 every morning for a four-mile jog with his 14-year-old pacer, Bobby Cormier. Younger Kenwood boys follow the runners as far as they can, but usually drop out before long. Later come the calisthenics, the bag work and at least three rounds of sparring. Everything is nicely calculated to send Archie into the ring a rock-hard 185 lbs. on Sept. 20 against the fearsome, favored (1-3½) Rocky Marciano...
...wizened, pixylike Irishmen who had worked 50 years in the West Point tailor's shop, and remembered fitting the Eisenhower uniform when the President was a plebe back in 1911. For a military man it was an unexpected thing to do, but the President broke ranks at once, jog-trotted clear out of the parade, and began gagging with the Walshes; when he subsequently caught up with the slow-marching alumni, he grinned and noted his unmilitary lapse: "Let's not mess this up."

...British are foolish-fond of their railroads, as they are of any public inconvenience that has been around for more than 100 years. Sprouting from the main lines, branch tracks lace the map like a web spun by a Stakhanovite spider. One-and two-car trains jog across the countryside as leisurely and erratically as the village gossip on her daily rounds. Except on the crack trains, cars are dirty, creaky, ramshackle and old, though also comfortable in a musty, antimacassar way. Cartoonist Rowland Emett has epitomized both Britain's love and loathing in Punch's "FarTwittering...
...cold air seems to be the cause. But once the wave gets going, its front gets steeper and steeper and the air in the wave may rise more than a mile in a few minutes. This causes a sudden rise of barometric pressure that shows as a sharp jog on the chart of a specially sensitive barograph...
