Although he won't start, Pete Kelley, the team's number two scorer, should see considerable action. Wilson keeps Kelley on the bench during the opening tip-off in order to have him available to inject new life into the squad when the offense begins to sag. Thus far Kelly has been quite effective in his role as a pep-up pill...
...Salle is the only solid candidate Ohio Democrats have for Governor, and without him, the whole state ticket might sag. Well aware of this, President Kennedy kept in friendly touch with Di Salle. Kennedy invited the Governor to sit with him at the Army-Navy game, fortnight ago went out to Columbus to speak at a testimonial dinner on Di Salle's 54th birthday-and to apply some subtle pressure. In addition. Ohio Democrats were rounding up some 200.000 signatures on petitions urging Di Salle...

Today its counters sag with Italian clothes, furniture and glassware, German linen, leather goods and housewares, Dutch clothing and pottery-and some 8% of its sales are imported goods.

Salinger destroys him mercilessly as he shows Lane smugly explaining some choice portions of his latest A paper...
...shelves sag with books about World War II turned out by professional writers who served as amateur soldiers, and by professional soldiers who became amateur writers. The two groups often seem to be writing about different wars. Into the no-man's land between the two camps moves John Masters, who from 1934 to 1947 was a professional soldier of a particularly proud breed-an officer in the Indian army. Since then, he has become a professional writer with seven novels about India to his credit (Bhowani Junction, Nightrunners of Bengal, The Venus of Konpara). In his autobiographical...
