Boxer Langlois, who was a substitute for Joey Giardello (who had a knee injury), was game but overmatched. In the sixth round, Olson opened a cut over Langlois' left eye. In the eleventh, another Olson punch knocked the dressing off and left the cut looking like a blackish mussel shell, gaping in the middle. After a conference with the ring doctor, the referee awarded the fight to Olson on a technical knockout. Television viewers, who could not plainly see the cut or the blood and wondered why the bout was halted in the middle of a round, felt cheated...
Nowadays, when every bent fender and skinned knee becomes a statistic, American look at things differently. Hundreds of posters warn Junior about leaving his roller skates on the stairs, and the man who keeps oily rags in his cellar is little better than a criminal. Under the aegis of the National safety Council, the mass media have combined to produce a state of safety pyschosis...
...Corporal Charles F. Pendleton, 21, of Fort Worth, Texas, who delivered devastating fire during an attack, cradling his machine gun on his knee. He hurled hand grenades back at the enemy, swung his machine gun in great arcs, was critically wounded but continued to fight. When his machine gun was knocked out by a grenade, he picked up a carbine and fought on. The next morning 37 enemy dead were counted around Corporal Pendleton's position...
...white-haired but boyish-looking priest in a knee-length clerical coat strode to the dais in the Waldorf-Astoria's Jade Room one afternoon last week, took a soldierly stance between the grand piano and a bowl of pink-and-white chrysanthemums, and faced the expectant crowd. Scotland's Roman Catholic Father Sydney MacEwan, 45, started to sing in a small voice that recalled much of the bewitching sweetness of the late John McCormack. He sang the centuries-old songs of plaintive and merry love, of the sea and of the rugged Hebrides, while mink-jacketed matrons...
Much of the rest of the play is devoted to Miss Wynter's attempts to seduce the doctor. It is a chess-game second act which sees her carrying the attack, leading with her queenly figure, lounging on the couch, or gently caressing his knee while he tries, unsuccessfully to ward off her advances. Vincent Price, of course, is merely a pawn, and he realizes it. His defeat is inevitable. In a stunning move the pawn is rooked, and the two disappear into a bedroom for what should logically be the end of the game...
