...British ambassador, shy Sir Roger Makins, deserved special mention in dispatches from the Battle of the Red Mill. He flinched slightly when presented with a plate of lavender-pink potato salad, flinched again when a lady guest impaled him with: "You're British, aren't you? You ought to know how to do the Lambeth Walk." Afloat or ashore, England expects every man to do his duty. For the first time in a quiet but crowded life, Sir Roger Mellor Makins, Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael...
...more than a year, in the Olympics and in U.S. competition, Sim Iness had come tantalizingly close to the record. This time he got the plate-shaped discus off powerfully and easily.

Last week, Mrs. Harris reached over, pulled out the drawer, and there in a bassinet snuggled Cynthia, three days old. When she had finished cooing at the baby, Mrs. Harris pushed the drawer back, and Cynthia was again in the semiprivate nursery which she shared with Mrs. Sigmund's baby. When Mrs. Harris closed the drawer, a light flashed on in the central corridor, showing the nurse...
...since Mickey became a regular. Casey, who once called Mickey "treemenjous" and hawked him to the skies, now talks of his man in careful understatement ("a pretty good ballplayer"). The job now is to keep the fans from expecting too much from No. 7 whenever he marches to the plate or trots out to centerfield...
