...varsity hockey team coasted into the third period of Saturday night's contest at Providence with a seemingly secure 4-0 lead over Brown. Just 18 minutes and 14 seconds later, the embattled Crimson was fighting desperately to maintain its shaky 6-4 margin, which none too soon became the final score...
...excess of gravitation around the North Pole, for instance, indicates an extra 200-ft. bulge of rock over an area equivalent to the Atlantic Ocean.

Hearing a missing-bird bulletin over the state radio station, Nkrumah forthwith phoned the chief of police in Accra to get his head out of the sand. Dragnet-quick result: the chief found his quarry in his own garden, triumphantly reported to the P.M., who triumphantly eased Madame...
