Turn to Trouble. On the Malecón, the danger more familiar to Fangio began to haunt his fellow racers as they whirled into the long (315 miles) grind. Britain's Stirling Moss took the lead in a Ferrari, Missourian Masten Gregory, driving another Ferrari, was second. Fangio's Maserati, in Trintignant's hands, fell far back to 13th place. By the end of five laps, all the drivers saw that almost every turn was slick with spilled oil; they knew that they were in for trouble...
...market to buy their youngsters a coach who could train winners. For a $10,100 salary (the U.S. average for high school coaches: $6,500), plus handsome bonuses and a high-priced side job as a TV football commentator, the Eagles got Charles Hinton Moser Jr., 39, a solid Missourian who played center for the University of Missouri and ripped up opposing lines in the late 1930s. A deep-voiced, ingratiating joiner, Coach Moser shook hands, made friends, and built a team whose drawing power earned the money for a brand-new $50,000 field house. After a winning season...
Happy was the Interior Department last month when Stanford W. Barton offered to undertake the biggest Indian land development of all time. The friendly Missourian, a dabbler in uranium and alfalfa, was a godsend to the Indian Affairs Bureau officials. They signed him up just one day before expiration of an act enabling Interior to lease 67,000 parched Arizona acres with the expectation of turning them into a desert garden for some 1,500 Mojave and Chemehuevi tribesmen, who would get the land back in 25 years. As first installment on the $28 million deal, which promised handsome profits...
Author Connell, 32, is a Missourian who has been a premedical student at Dartmouth, a Navy flyer, and a wanderer in the U.S. and the world. His writing is both vivid and various, and its weaknesses are the sort that promise future strength. In his refusal to make explicit judgments - leaving it to the reader to draw his own conclusions - Connell has made his first steps in the direction of the goal set by that master of the short story, James Joyce, who argued that "the artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above...
Nobody Went Home. One place where the opportunities for adding health to age are being exploited with signal success is St. Louis. There, Dr. William B. Kountz, 60, a native Missourian, talked Washington University into putting up $300 to start a research program at the old city infirmary. In 1943 it was shifted to St. Louis Chronic Hospital, where about half the 1,600 patients are afflicted with the disorder of old age. Kountz has raised enough funds (including one $2,000,000 bequest) so that the university has never had to add to its original piddling investment...
