...hard day's scrimmage, but he's too stupid to know it. A player gives him a cold eye and blurts: "Why were the guys whispering? I'll tell you. You have bad breath. BAD BREATH!" Instead of booting the impudent brat out of the locker room, Coach goes on a Micrin bender, leaving the audience to conclude that now, by gosh, his team will get out there against State, and win one for the Gipper...
Orin O'Brien, 31, the newest member of the New York Philharmonic, scurried into Philharmonic Hall one rainy night last week and, ignoring the musicians' locker room, got dressed in a washroom. It was not a hazing rite. Indeed, no rookie has ever been so warmly accepted by the orchestra; to a man they say, "Orin is one of the boys."

Helpless Horror. Superbly trained fire crews dragged hoses toward the burning locker. Other crewmen fought desperately to roll four planes to the far end of the hangar deck: three of them were already laden with bombs; the fourth, a tanker, carried 900 gal. of JB5 jet fuel. The fire fighters watched in helpless horror as the steel bulkheads of the flare locker started ballooning under the 7,000° heat inside. The steel hatch blasted open with a great gout of flame that engulfed the hangar and sent fire balls rocketing down every passageway, igniting two helicopters. Five sailors were...
