Naturally, a structure of such proportions was a spectacular job of engineering. Fifty thousand tons of steel rest on 50,000 cubic yards of concrete. The mammoth concrete piers on which the main truss rests go down some 83 feet below the water line--making these huge abutments the largest of their kind in the country. Dozens of homes were transported intact away from the 60 foot strip that the bridge's approaches carve through Chelsea and Charlestown. In many respects the engineering was equally as remarkable as in the construction of the John Hancock building...
...half-a-dozen pictures and cartoons which are really funny, not just silly or amusing. Most of these are the work of two Elis named Kochler and Voulgaris, who seem to be solely responsible for putting their magazine several notches above other college funny papers, including the Lampoon. The rest of this issue consists of some involved and mostly unfunny stories, all based on ancient gimmicks, a pot of putrid he-she jokes admittedly culled from the 1920-1921 editions of the Record, and the phrase "'53 Skidoo" repeated six times throughout...

Ben Jones, as patient as he is wily, put his star back on the shelf with a crisp remark: "We don't need him right now." The rest of the team was clicking. Coaltown, whose efforts included a world-record mile-in 1:34-had the handicap division over a barrel; Kentucky Derby-winning Ponder, runaway victor in the recent $66,150 American Derby at Washington Park, was the nation's top money-winning three-year...
...there was violent disagreement on what the fancy script meant. The question was: "Does the treaty commit us to arm and aid Europe's armies?" (An old question in a new context). Senator Taft, respected for his brains, answered, "Yes." Senator Dulles, respected for his brains, answered, "No." The rest of the Senators, some respected, some not, weren't agreed either, but they voted for the Pact. An arms bill may pass the Senate, but what the original treaty meant remained a question...
