...compared Britain's mood to that of 1945, when Labor's Clement Attlee scored an upset victory over Winston Churchill. And from the marginal constituencies, one Labor campaigner after another reported that if it were not for the polls, which still showed a strong though diminished Tory lead, he would predict a Labor victory...
...This year the team had no pitcher that could win 20 games, no slugger challenging for the home-run or runs-batted-in titles, and the best-hitting regular was Wally Moon with a bare .300. But at the start of last week, the Dodgers galumphed into the lead by shattering the league-leading Giants in three successive games, unceremoniously tumbling them from first to third...
Chevy's Ed Cole predicts that the 1960 compact cars will ring up 1,100,000 sales, lead the industry to within a bumper's reach of a 7,000,000-car year, the second biggest (first: 1955) in U.S. history.

He had an intense feeling of mission, and believed he was fated "to lead a country" to glory; sometimes he would add harshly, "Any country would do." His first choice was Palestine.

The Jews, knowing that Wingate was born into an evangelical Protestant sect (the Plymouth Brethren) and was a distant relative of the famed Lawrence...
