Important Gifts. One day Army Nurse Lorraine Knox brought in two copies of a quiz book she found in the hospital bookstore, and for two hours the President and the nurse worked at quizzes. Before the week was out, he was permitted to read for the first time since he became ill. But his greatest pleasure came when he opened a package from his grandchildren: Susan, 3, Barbara Anne, 6½, and David, 7#189;. Each child had sent an original drawing. David also sent a book, a 25? volume called The Mackenzie Raid by Colonel Red Reeder, a story...
...daily cardiograms from two to one a day (just before breakfast). Use of the oxygen tent was discontinued altogether. Ike listened to music by Bach, e.g., Air on the G String, Sheep May Safely Graze, which he had requested, and a pretty Army nurse, First Lieut. Lorraine P. Knox, read to him from the Reader's Digest.

Bob Davenport, one of the best fullbacks in the country, bulling through the line. For the first time in his seven-year career at U.C.L.A., Sanders has a team that can either "go over 'em or through 'em." Final...
This week's game against Maryland will be U.C.L.A.'s toughest of the season. To hear Harvey Knox tell it, Ronnie will win it singlehanded. "Maryland? Why, if Ronnie don't throw for five or six touchdowns, I'll disown him. I'll cream him." Red Sanders suffered from a little more professional pessimism: "If we get hurt in one or two places, we could go down pretty fast...
