...approved a labor-reform bill that was even milder than the Kennedy-Ervin bill sent over from the Senate more than three months ago. G.O.P. Leader Charlie Halleck, coming from a White House conference, called the bill "a diluted version of a watered-down bill," thus fired the opening shot in the battle to force the Democratic majority in Congress to pass a strong bill or take the blame for none...
...diplomats, politicians and clergymen, working with disillusioned generals and colonels-had paid dearly for their pains. As soon as the news went out that Hitler was alive, the Gestapo began its dragnet Operation Thunderstorm, which brought the number of Germans arrested that year to 33,000.

The Dodger fans' answer: a rootin'-tootin' cavalry blast on dozens of trumpets carried...
...Patient and precise, slight (5 ft. 8 in., 150 Ibs.) Bernard ("Tut") Bartzen, 31, from Dallas, retrieved shot after shot at Chicago's River Forest Tennis Club, finally put away San Jose State's Whitney Reed, 26, by the score of 6-0, 8-6, 7-5, to keep his U.S. clay-court championship, and to prove again that he is without peer on clay, where the balls bounce high and true, although he may be an also-ran on grass, where the shots skid low and hard...
