...probably the finest collegiate boxer in the U.S.A University of Wisconsin senior Mohr was the 1959 intercollegiate champion at 165 Ibs., having won 23 fights and lost only five over a four-year period. Last April 9 at Madison, heavily favored to retain his title, he stepped into the ring against San Jose State's Stu Bartell. Minutes later, Boxer Mohr was in a deep coma from an intracranial hemorrhage following a moderate blow to the head. Eight days after the bout, without regaining consciousness, he died...
...Magnificent Seven (United Artists) suggests that, after many a disappointment with Hollywood and television westerns, U.S. reviewers and distributors are so saddle-sore and range-blind that they cannot tell a ring-tailed snorter from a bucket-foot mule.

Using Morris as a pilot project, Bell Telephone Laboratories have installed telephones that...
...large round cellophane inset are F. & F.'s Vinylite heads, whose unblemished cheeks are supposed to feel like skin but actually feel like soapstone and smell like Mr. Clean. Each idol is mounted on a cardboard plaque covered with artificial suede and can be hung by a brass ring on a bedroom wall...
