Making good use of its slight height advantage and its precise fast break, Eliot House barely nosed out Leverett's bunnies in the roughest battle of the night, 33 to 28. Bunnry Sam Seager rang up the high score of the contest with 15 points but failed in the last minutes to infuse the required scamper into his hutchmates to overcome Eliot's five point lead...
...Chicago rang with a rumor that Petrillo had been kidnaped from a suburban nightclub and that other union officers had seen fit to buy him back for $50,000. Jimmy issued shrill denials, distributed a C.P.A. report on the union's finances which showed no $50,000 deduction.

...phone rang in the Chicago Symphony's office, and a familiar voice spoke all-too-familiar words: "Dr. Rodzinski cannot conduct rehearsal today." Assistant Conductor Tauno Hannikainen was hurriedly called in. He had just 24 hours to rehearse with the soloist (Pianist Myra Hess) and to start learning Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony.

...night last week, Michael was preparing for a New Year's party at his palace in Sinaia near Bucharest, when the telephone rang. It was a summons to Bucharest from the king's first minister, Communist stooge Petru Groza, "to discuss important matters." The king set off at 3 a.m., was received in the Villa Elizabeth by Groza and comrades, who handed him an instrument of abdication, complete and ready for the king's signature. Said Michael: "If I refuse to sign you cannot force me." "In that case," replied Groza suavely, "thousands will be arrested. Rumania...
