Locked in a 1-1 tie, the New York Rangers and the Detroit Red Wings battled into the third period of one of the tightest ice hockey games of the season. Then a couple of Rangers were waved into the penalty box. Determined to score a tie-breaking goal, Detroit sent five forwards lunging down ice toward the undermanned Ranger defenses. But before a shot could be fired, the startled Red Wings scraped to a halt. All of a sudden there was nothing to shoot at. The squat goal was still there, but it was turned completely around, its open...
...ready to play his part in the nuclear-age fire drill. At 2:10 p.m., hatless, wearing a tan, double-breasted summer suit, he walked across the White House's south lawn, and for the first time boarded his new royal-blue and white Bell Ranger helicopter.* Serious of mien, the President strapped himself in the four-place whirlybird next to White House Secret Service Chief Jim Rowley. The aircraft rose from the lawn, hovered above a cluster of photographers, then skimmed southwestward past the Washington Monument, followed by four other copters carrying some 20 White House staffers, including...
...down Pilot Steeves struggled day after day-crawling, hobbling and sliding through snow-filled gorges, sleeping in hollow logs and under sheltering rocks. In 18 days he went 25 miles, finally got to Simpson Meadow (elevation: 6,000 ft.). There, crazed from hunger, he stumbled on a park ranger's storage shed. Breaking in, he found more matches, fishhooks, a map of the area and a tiny store of provisions-a can of beans, hash, tomatoes. He wrapped himself in canvas, rationed the food so that it would last, and waited for his ankles to get better...
...clatter of rock, looked up to see a heavily bearded, gaunt figure (he had lost about 30 lbs.) sitting on a rock munching strawberries. The campers shook their heads at his story, reckoned that he had walked about 100 miles, eased him on a horse to the nearest ranger station. From there he went out into the rauous notoriety that civilization reserves for a hero returned from the dead...
...Chief newcomer is a live vaudeville show on Saturdays called Popsicle Five Star Comedy Party, on which Ventriloquist Paul Winchell and Dummy Jerry Mahoney rotate with Oldtimers Ben Blue, Jerry Colonna, Olsen & Johnson. Fearless Wyatt Earp, Cheyenne and The Lone Ranger will continue to defend the frontiers, but only with reruns of last season's shows, and a "new drama series" disguised as Key Club Playhouse will run off old films from Ford Theater. Folksy Bandleader Lawrence Welk, whose climb to the No. 5 position in the ratings began with a summer replacement spot two years ago, will obligingly...
