This week Richard (pronounced Ree-shar) put on his 12 Ibs. of shin & shoulder pads, ankle-length underwear, skates and stovepipe pants, skated onto the ice before Montreal's largest hockey crowd of the season (12,674). Once during the evening, against the arch-rival Toronto Maple Leafs, the crowds got what they came to see. There was a pass, a swift attack by Richard on the cage, a flick of his stick; and The Rocket had scored. The stands rang with cowbells, cheers and whistles...
...occasion, Conservatives predicted a socialist saturnalia. Under a headline, "Shinwell celebrates-with 1,000 guests," London's Tory tabloid Daily Graphic told of plans for washing down coal nationalization with highballs served on silver salvers in a paneled, specially heated room.

Always an inconspicuous sport amidst the noise of the football season, and until yesterday the World Series, the Crimson harrier aggregation, nevertheless, within a short two-week practice period, managed to take second in the four-way meet last Friday, and promises to attract some attention in the sports arena this fall...
Raging Socialist Katsu Nomizu dashed up to the Speaker's rostrum, kicked Liberal Speaker Senzo Higai smartly in the shin. "Baka!"*(Idiot), screamed Liberal Shu Kara, flooring Nomizu in the aisle. "Stop! Quit! Disreputable!" shouted members from both sides of the house. But in a moment Japan's first postwar Diet session resembled a brawl in a frontier saloon, as members traded insults, shook one another, swung futile fists...
