...laborers, woodcutters, quarry workers. The prisoner-workers are paid 80? a day by the Army (in canteen coupons) and wages for their work, paid at prevailing rates, go directly to the U.S. Treasury. P.W.s have saved crops, released service troops for other jobs, and the U.S. Government last year rang up about $10,000,000 on the deal...
...Armored Division and 104th Infantry ("Timberwolves") moved in, a church bell rang crazily, not in joy but high and loose-lipped like the laughter of a hysterical woman. A mud-stained veteran stared with dazed eyes at the desolation about him murmuring over and over, "Ain't it awful! Ain't it awful!" Silent Rubble.

For six minutes 13,961 Montreal hockey bugs whistled, applauded, cluttered the ice with paper. Richard's shot snapped a 27-year-old record, and he still had eight games to go. (Those eight games might bring the league-leading Canadiens-won 33, tied 4, lost 5-a record, too; they need six victories to beat their own 1943-44 mark...
Telephones rang incessantly in the Latin Embassies in Washington. Ambassadors called ambassadors. Counselors called counselors. "How do you feel?" they asked. "Is your Government sending bicarbonate to kill the taste of that meal?" "Yes, it comes up my throat." "Exactly. Mine too. Like onions...
