...amble. His Manhattan jungle prowls are intermittent now; he prefers to let his 40-odd faithful squad of Broadway volunteers pump up the bulk of the gossip. When he does walk abroad, he likes to visit the scenes of old triumphs: "This is where I got Lepke." He is often alone-an isolation the big game he once stalked is pleased not to invade. He was seen alone recently at Rashomon, at the Louis Prima-Keely Smith opening at the Copacabana, and the other night he sat peaceably at Sardi's, a solitary diner, ignored by first-nighters streaming...
Keeping Black out of the paper was not easy. He is a consistent newsmaker, often gets into other papers. Last month, carrying a United Press International dispatch from Raleigh that mentioned Black five times, Independent Publisher James L. Moore made five pinpoint deletions. Fortnight ago, when the other representative from Kannapolis, Dwight Quinn-supply superintendent for Cannon's mills -killed a Black-introduced bill, the Independent story named the executioner but not the victim...
Since he swept the short dash events at the 1956 Olympic Games, 23-year-old Bobby Morrow, late of Texas' Abilene Christian College, has been recognized as the world's No. 1 sprinter. But this year Morrow has won occasionally but lost often-not because he is running any slower but because a new crop of sprinters has appeared to make a wholesale onslaught on the 9.3-sec. world record for the 100-yd. dash. So far this year three of Morrow's challengers-Bill Woodhouse, Ray Norton and Roscoe Cook-have equaled the world record...

But this year he is making Abilene Christian forget about Morrow. Son of a Mason City, Iowa, railroad switchman, Woodhouse was a promising sprinter in high school, was given a scholarship sight unseen from Abilene Christian. When he arrived, Coach Oliver Jackson got a shock. "When he got off that train." Jackson recalls. "I said to myself that if he ever ran as fast...
...studio, it is more likely to be caused by an unwatched oxyacetylene torch. The material may still be bronze, but there is an added glitter of stainless steel, phosphor or chrome. The great difference is that Cellini produced in bronze a famous Perseus; today's sculptors too often end up with a glittering space divider or macabre wall hanging. Startling and even elegant as such modern objects can be (see color pages), they tend more to snag the imagination like an unexpected piece of barbed wire than hold the eye transfixed in admiration...
