...became one of four to see its strike settled before an injunction had to be issued. Of the eleven cases in which injunctions came down, five were settled during the 80 days, two were settled eight days later without a post-injunction walkout. Of the four other cases that ran past cool-off, all on the strife-torn waterfront, two were solved after brief strikes. Only two slid on past the cool-off into the deepfreeze of a long strike...
...Drop of a Hat is the two-man "afterdinner farrago" that ran in London for 759 performances. The two men are Michael Flanders, who is vivacious and bearded and sails about in a wheelchair, and Donald Swann, who is mousy and bespectacled and stays put at the piano.

The two of them are notably British yet notably themselves-casual and informal, yet with the timing of the solar system...

Last Saturday in the Yardlings' 38-20 win over Tufts, for example, Hobie Armstrong at left half ran back two punts, both for touchdowns, and carried a pass 30 yards for a third tally. Chuck Taylor at right half also ran well; and Bill Hatch, playing second-string right half, scored a touchdown from the 20-yard line...
...Labour decline was also assisted by a timely and needed Liberal revival. Although the Liberals secured only six seats, as in each of the past two contests, they ran twice as many candidates as in 1955 and received over twice as many votes. Many of these were clearly protest votes, largely drawn from old Laborites and new voters. Most Liberal platforms were broad statements of interest in the "little man" and appeals for the liberalization of trade...
