...nickname-"Casey" (after his initials)-he was over some of his shyness. When old grads gathered at Bowdoin last week to help him celebrate his 30th anniversary as president, they found him a mellowed version of his young self-a fumbling figure with a kindly smile and a comfortable paunch. Casey has been at bat so long that few Bowdoin men could ever imagine their college without...
...Ankles. Lou Boudreau (rhymes with mud row) himself was the red-hottest Indian of them all. Despite a slight banquet-season paunch, Lou was batting a phenomenal .519 from his unorthodox crouch and was leading the league in runs batted in.

Before him sat a group of men in tail coats and white ties; they were His Majesty's ministers, and most of them were Communists. The tableau was a remarkable manifestation of Communist elasticity. Young (26) Michael reigns in royal panoply over a state actually run by the Communists...
