...rally, which began near University Hall at 7 p.m., built up momentum by 8 p.m., when the crowd of undergraduates and their dates gathered by Widener to cheer and listen to freshman coach Bob Marguerita, who told them "the bulldog is still a pup." A small group of Yale freshman and jayvee football players shouted Eli songs, to the annoyance of the very highly partisan crowd...
...Harris' uphill fight to unseat Democratic Congressman Byron Rogers. "Ladies," said Mamie, "I hope you'll all vote for her. We women have to have a voice in things." The home movie cameras ground away, and people with Brownies worked furiously while Mamie met a dachshund pup named Ike, told him: "Why hello, Ike, I'll tell Ike I saw you today."

Compared to the splendid enterprise led by Hunt, the Izzard expedition was a joke. Against some 360 coolies, Izzard had five.

On Allen's 280-acre Illinois farm, he puts flocks of some 400 sheep through their proper paces year-round...

In 1943, Reams, then 11, his brother Jimmie, 13, and their mongrel pup had also crawled through the fence at Fort Ord. Like the Edgmon boys, they, too, came across an unexploded shell. Unfortunately for the Reams brothers, nobody heard the explosion, and searchers didn't find them until the next day-also Easter Sunday. Jimmie Reams was dead, and Dick lost both legs, but for the Reams family there was no redress. The law under which the Edgmon...
