Y.: the Westminster Kennel Club best-in-show, crowning glory in a dog's life; for the second year in a row; outshining 2,547 rivals; at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden. With rosettes aplenty, five-year-old Brucie will show no more, "except where he never has been shown before." >Dimpled Mary Rose Thacker, 18, of Winnipeg: the biennial North American ladies' figure skating championship; for the second successive time; by a wide margin over Toronto's Eleanor O'Meara...

They sank one ship outright, fired and probably sank two others, damaged one of the two escorting destroyers, which...

Anti-aircraft guns started barking like a kennel of mastiffs aroused in the night. As the two bombers roared south, away from him down the length of Sylt, Herr Schmidt could hear other long-muzzled watchdogs take up the furious chorus...
