TIME is quite safe in saying that "hunkerin' is not likely to be confined to Arkansas." Anyone who has ever visited a Tokyo railway station has seen hunkerers, squatting as their ancestors have done for centuries...
Malraux also decreed: let there be circuses-and staged the most dazzling Bastille Day celebration France had ever seen. In fact, never since Napoleon had government and culture so complemented each other.

Magnificently muscled (6 ft. 2 in., 228 Ibs.), Brown has a sprinter's speed, strength enough to carry along a brace of tacklers. When he hits defensive backs with a low shoulder, he can send them cartwheeling. Last year Brown smashed 1,527 yds. in twelve games to shatter the league ground-gaining record by a fabulous 381 yds.
