...Rebellion!" cried Chanis. "I will retain the presidency until I am killed." Vallarino sat tight. In some confusion the President asked Remón to reason with his stubborn lieutenant. Chichi Remón indignantly refused to negotiate while under arrest, so he was set free. Vallarino rushed a patrol car for his boss, then Remón took command and moved fast. Police squads were deployed around Panama City, the newspapers were temporarily shut down, the telephone exchange was taken over and ordered to complete calls only to or from police headquarters. Then Chichi Remón sent...
...reason for the zither dither: the catchy, twangy background music that British Cinema Director Carol Reed (Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol) had worked into his new smash hit, The Third Man. The picture demanded music appropriate to post-World War II Vienna, but Director Reed had made up his mind to avoid schmalzy, heavily orchestrated waltzes.

Most of the veterans from last year's squad were hopelessly handicapped by recurrent injuries which slowed them while they played, and often prevented them from playing at all. Yet Valpey had to use these semi-injured players because there was nobody else. Harvard had less depth, fewer able-bodied and capable men, than any of its 1949 opponents. When the first team got hurt, there just weren't any more players. Mean-while Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown. Columbia, Army and Cornell had two platoons...
