Fare: $700. The U.S. 24th Infantry and 1st Cavalry Divisions were now stationed on the perilous right flank, replacing the fearfully mauled U.S. 2nd Division. Caught on the shoulder of the great Communist breakthrough, the 2nd would have to be reconstituted before it could fight again. It had lost a third of its combat strength in killed, wounded and missing; its 9th Regiment, first and hardest hit in the Red onslaught, was almost completely destroyed. The division's 237 officer casualties included five doctors and two chaplains...
Like Nick Barone himself, fight fans were reconsidering Ezzard's virtues last week.

Giles's caption: "His argument is that as a taxpayer he has as much right to inspect things as anybody else...
When the work was completed, church leaders described it as "one of the most historic events in American Christianity." For four days last week 600 delegates and 3,000 observers had threaded their way to & from Cleveland's Public Auditorium through shoulder-high embankments of leftover snow, to found a new organization that will represent non-Roman Catholic Christianity as it has never been represented before...
