...discontinuing trolley traffic between Central Square and Harvard Square, City Engineer Edgar Davis and state engineers decided that any attempt to salvage the track would be wasted effort. Davis explains that the roadbed is fortunately low along Massachusetts Avenue, and for that reason two and one-half inches of tar can be applied directly on top of the track. Rather than harming the paving job, the track, instead, adds strength to the roadbed. Work will continue today and probably tomorrow, with traffic limited on Plympton, Dunster, Holyoke, and Lindon streets, and Massachusetts Avenue during most of the remaining construction...
...this reason an aggregation such as the soccer squad must be sized up and conditioned for play in an exceptionally short period of time. Because the coach has very little pre-season information on the team, the overall success of the squad depends on the ability of the coach to decide upon his best starting lineup early in the season and then work them together...
...Spain is suffering so badly, just how does Dictator Franco manage so keep his subjects content?

More unaccountably, the paste-pot yarn was put together by two veteran scripters: Frank Nugent and Laurence Stallings...
...robust burghers of Cincinnati had ever known of the notebooks that bitter Mrs. Trollope was carrying home up her raveled sleeve, they would have found some way to keep her in town. "I cannot speculate," said the redoubtable old dame, "and I cannot reason; but I can see and hear." The London firm of Whittaker, Treacher & Co. thought so too. Barely two years later, when Cincinnatians were still guffawing every time they passed the crazy shell known as "Trollope's Folly," a book appeared that roused one of the loudest howls of pain and outrage ever heard...
