...Pack & Preserve. The dismantling took five months. Every part of the apse was measured, every stone numbered and painstakingly packed in boxes. At The Cloisters, the stones were treated with a secret preservative to protect them against the cold, rain and city smoke. In January 1959 workmen began laying the foundation stones, at first without mortar, to test their fit to the new site. After corrections for the contours of the old site and for the distortions caused by centuries of settling, the walls slowly rose, set this time in a thin layer of mortar. When they reached the high...
...K.K.K. In 1958 Patterson started out way back in the pack in the race among the Democrats for the Governor's mansion. He gained ground fast. With no program of his own to speak of, Patterson made himself the chief critic of the clownish reign of James ("Kissin' Jim") Folsom, the outgoing Governor.

In the Wood Memorial at New York's Aqueduct race track.,Carry Back dawdled well off the pace as the pack pounded into the stretch-and anxious Jockey Sellers desperately whaled him with his whip. Angered, the colt pinned back his ears, curled his lips in a defiant snarl, and refused to run. He finished a bad second to Globemaster, whom he later beat decisively in both the Derby...
Breaking quickly, Four and Twenty drove for the lead, but lost it to Globemaster, a sprinter that had beaten Carry Back by 3¼ lengths in New York's $86,000 Wood Memorial. Carry Back, running lazily, was lodged deep in the pack in ninth place.
