Referee Jersey Joe Walcott waited several seconds before starting the countdown--perhaps Clay's punch was so undiscernible that he thought Liston had slipped on a banana peel, or maybe Old Jersey Joe is still a little punch-drunk from the Marciano fight. At any rate, Liston was required to stay down for an eight count. He got up before he was counted out--and naturally he would wait till the last second to conserve his strength...
...Texas A. & M.'s Randy Matson, 20, threw the 16-lb. metal ball five times, each time topping 67 ft. His longest put established a fantastic new record of 70 ft. 7 in. Sighed Baylor University Coach Clyde Hart: "One day, we'll see Matson peel off his A. & M. warm up suit, and underneath he'll have on a cape and a big S on his chest. Then he'll fly away, and we'll wonder whether we really...
...spent two years searching for an answer to his own question. He did not quite find one, and his route took him past many of the familiar inscrutabilities of an island where the kimono is dismembered before laundering, where the men wear long underwear in summer and in winter peel off their overcoats to bow to a friend, where the women surrender trolley seats to boys and rank no higher than condiments at table, where dinner ends with soup, and the guests, invited for eight o'clock, arrive at six or ten.

But it is an especially difficult role to measure up to, for Strauss's score calls for a teen-age temptress with an Isolde voice-a titmouse that roars...
Walk Out in Anger. Their novels reflect an outlook and a mood that today pervade many other areas besides fiction. Dr. Strangelove, treating the hydrogen bomb as a colossal banana peel on which the world slips to annihilation, is a black-humor movie, even though it becomes so incredible that it kills its own joke. Satirical cabaret groups, such as Chicago's Second City or Britain's The Establishment, have offered some of the liveliest black humor, though they can hardly meet Drama Critic Kenneth Tynan's criterion that such satire is successful only if at least...
