...tone of the proceedings in general. The "Grizzle" where student spectators of a pre-war era frequently held the main stairway with a fire hose against the minions of the law, now caters to elderly ladies crocheting in the lobby. Elsewhere along the river conditions were not up to par either, Small crafts of all kinds were in abundance, but the mammoth yachts of old, from the great three-masted schooners to the nearocean liners of the more opulent old grads, were still in the moth balls in which they have lanquished since...
...Par-dessus la Téte." In France, the picture was even clearer. A little man had got good & sore at the Communists. When Paul Ramadier took office (before anyone had heard of the Truman Doctrine), he was generally considered an inoffensive type with some administrative ability.

His score-a five-under-par 66-broke the three-year-old course record in the first round of last week's $15,000 Inquirer Invitation Tourney. Fellow golfers shook his hand and slapped his back. Just when he was beginning to enjoy prosperity, the crash came. Veteran Ben Hogan, finishing three hours later over the damp fairways, entered the locker room triumphantly. He had just scored six under par, shooting six birdies and a big wide hole in Alexander...
