...most remarkable case cited by Dr. Levin involves a hunter and a rabbit: "A rabbit came into view and [the hunter] raised his gun to shoot; but suddenly his arms and neck began to quiver and in his own words, 'everything gave way under me and I squatted like a wet rag.' He had to abandon hunting because [whenever] a rabbit jumped up he would lose muscular tone and fall to the ground...
...last week the Italian press cried for school reform Said the Demo-Christian Il Popolo: "The youth of today finds his moral support in a society of comic books movies and shows . . . where men & women shoot and poison, steal and assault; the representation of a jungle world." We are all convinced," said Milan's Corriere delta Sera, "that the Italian school program is loaded in a frightening manner. We must impose a remedy."

...unobtrusively that admiring Coach Tommy Ivan admits that "there are times when he even fools me." Ivan likes to recall one tight game in which the Red Wings were trailing by one goal: "Howe gets the puck inside the blue line and I'm yelling at him to shoot.

Charging into an opponent's zone, Howe has been known to ward off a defenseman with one elbow and still get off a blasting scoring shot, one-handed, past an astonished goalie. Measured speed of Howe...
Marion Price, witty and a good storyteller, complements her husband, who has little small talk and forgets jokes as soon as he hears them. They shoot together at a nearby skeet club, where the dues are a year and members work their own traps; they go bird hunting and like to fish for dolphin off Florida (which they did last week). At home, the Prices and their three sons long had an unwritten rule that nobody would make outside dates on Sunday nights, when they all ate together in front of the fireplace. The sons are now grown, but Lawyer...
