...lowly (one win, twelve losses, one tie) Redskins, D.C. Stadium seats 50,000 for football, 43,500 for baseball. It is as comfortable as it is big. A cantilevered upper deck eliminates the need for view-obstructing posts, and a roof shields 60% of the seats from sun and rain. Each seat is a minimum of 20 in. wide (v. the standard 17 in.), and many are thoughtfully equipped with outlets for electric blankets. Scattered strategically about the stadium are 45 rest rooms and 27 concession stands. There is a 12,500-car parking lot, a heliport and a boat...

From his reception at the White House through the rain-soaked ride up Pennsylvania Avenue, Glenn acted as though he had been in the limelight all his life. He flashed a grin reminiscent of Eisenhower's, turned his head in every direction for the crowds like a campaigning Kennedy. Perched on the back seat of the President's bubble-top Lincoln, he ignored the dismal drizzle, kept a protective left arm around his radiant wife Annie, and occasionally thrust out his other arm to shake the hand of daring youngsters who darted through the police lines...
...events smashed this intellectual trade union: 1) a beery, gusty, word-wildered Welshman named Dylan Thomas and 2) World War II. Poet Thomas, with his golden rain of words and his great brass gong of a voice, reminded poetry of its origins in ritual and chant. And the war forced poets to face political, social and spiritual realities. At first, the horror of it all seemed to numb them; the war itself produced no genuinely great poetry in English. But such poets as Karl Shapiro, Randall Jarrell, Richard Eberhart and Britain's Henry Treece were moved to describe their...
