...Gilligan, Oxford's excellent distance runner did his best to undermine American morale yesterday by taking his workout in the Iffley Road running ground at the same time as the U.S. team was practicing. Gilligan began running along with two Yale performers, miler Jim Wade and two-miler John Morrison, planning to do a half-mile in two laps, run through another half-mile, and jog ad infinitum. However, Gilligan set such a demanding pace (covering the half-miles in 2:05 and jogging the laps in between at nearly the same speed) that the exhausted Elis were soon reduced...
...field of eleven tentative opponents, Old Earl's chief problem probably will be New Orleans' handsome, hard-working Mayor DeLesseps Morrison (TIME, Jan. 30, 1956), who lost to Long under an avalanche of upcountry votes in 1956. So confident is Earl of winning ("I wanna give that little squirt Della Soups Morrison one more beating") that he is even trying statesmanship.

Blow Them Up. Britain's prisons have for years made humanitarians blush, but somehow Parliament has never got around to doing much about them. What Herbert Morrison said of Dartmoor-"The only thing to do with Dartmoor is to blow it up"-could be said about Pentonville, Wandsworth, Brixton, Wormwood Scrubs and just about all the others. Many are more than a century old, built for treadmill labor and solitary confinement. Bleak Dartmoor itself was. built in 1808 for French prisoners of war, has changed little since the War of 1812 when it held 2,000 captive American seamen...
