...others ate lunch, Harry Reeves flopped in his hut. Shuttling between his cot and the range all through the sweltering afternoon, Reeves was a shaky, sweaty wreck. But in each critical instant of firing, he aimed surely, squeezed the trigger steadily, guided his bullets by instinct, if not by sight. His 2,606 points beat Benner, who slipped to 2,595-a level only a handful of pistol-men can ever hope to attain. Harry Reeves's two daughters rushed up to buss him for winning his fifth National title. Harry smiled, but he felt shot...
...First Sight. Soon after that, Maria de Jesus came into El Sapo's life. She was a housemaid, serving two years in the women's section for jewel theft, and had heard of El Sapo's fame from the other girls. It was love at first sight.

Rock, so small (32 Ibs.) that he seems lost in the shadow of a ram, was imported from Scotland as a pup four years...
...strange job for a man who has often blasted television's tiresome clichés. The new show had them all: a panel of experts, guest contestants, talent acts, a big cash prize ($1,000), dancing cigarette packages (Old Golds) and a studio crowd slavishly applauding everything in sight, including the commercials. In repartee with the amateur panelists (a device Groucho Marx has used with immense success) Allen's gift for ad lib is supposed to shine forth. Shine it did on the first show, but all too briefly in the half-hour clutter of people and performance...
