There were, of course, a few unavoidable absences. Marshal Georgy Zhukov was nowhere to be seen, and Yugoslavia's Marshal Josip Broz Tito, suffering from a case of lumbago aggravated by the ticklishness of his international position, stayed at home in Belgrade. But to show how civilized the Soviet state has become, the audience even included three discredited Khrushchev foes-Georgy Malenkov, Dmitry Shepilov and Lazar Kaganovich (who, when asked about his present work, replied: "That would be very difficult to explain just now"). On the dais, clustered around Red China's Mao Tse-tung, sat the leaders...
...case for military might was impressive chiefly for mass rather than quality. Of the 38 different rockets displayed, all were short-range with the possible exception of one single-stage, 70-ft. monster that looked like an overgrown German V2. The big new T-54 tanks had already been seen in action in Budapest, and the only noteworthy artillery pieces were two huge cannon (12-16 in. bore) presumably capable of firing nuclear shells. "We saw nothing that worries us," said one Western military attaché. "It's what we haven't seen that does...
...doctors say they have never seen a case of nearsightedness which became less severe after the wearing of eyeglasses, so that the lenses could be made weaker. But after the small, plastic contact lenses that cover only the eye's cornea became available in 1939, some doctors began to see such cases.

...seen the goal get turned, but fans in Detroit's Olympia Stadium agreed on an explanation: while they were watching the Red Wings organize their attack, Faille had put his shoulder to the net and shoved. "It's a bush-league trick!" stormed Red Wing General Manager Jack Adams. It may well have been. But it saved the game, and National Hockey League President Clarence Campbell had to admit that there is no rule against it. There soon will be, he promised, while French Canadian Goalie Faille still played the bewildered innocent: "Fasten? Unfasten...
...scrawny cowpoke draped over the bars of the end stall looked like anything but a big money man. His ancient riding boots were scuffed and patched; the brown leather chaps over his faded Levi's had seen better days. But he had the casual swagger of a champ. He ran a cool eye over Gold Dollar, a mean-looking palomino, and climbed aboard. Outside the chute, San Francisco's Cow Palace echoed to the voice of the announcer: "The first three-time all-around cowboy champion in history-Jim Shoulders...
