...many events, the Crimson has some of the second-best swimmers in the East, but unfortunately, Yale has all the best. Against Crimson star butterflier Hammond, who swims about 2:15, Yale will pit champion record-smasher Jecko, who performs...
...high-and-flighty set he calls the "Nobhillbillies." Despite the fervent pleas of his longtime legman, Jerry Bundsen, 42, Caen refuses to write even one day ahead, pounds out his column in 90 minutes at his air-conditioned office each morning. Though the file box he calls the "item-smasher" is usually filled with rough notes for the column each day, Caen is haunted by the fear that he will run dry, or that San Franciscans will someday tire of hearing about San Francisco. Herb Caen has often been touted as Hearst HQ's choice to succeed aging Gossipist...
...returned to lecture about her experiences. Still a smasher in a low-cut evening gown, she would go offstage and return in her tattered asylum gown and bring the house down in tears of indignation. Eventually Harriet was reunited with her daughter Margaret, who, after a brief stint on the Ziegfeld stage, led a useful life as an editor and teacher, and now, in her 70s, is co-author of this book...

Jones of the University of Michigan and Tihiro Ohkawa of Tokyo University, told their colleagues about a new and cataclysmic kind of atom smasher.

...capitalist-praising Zatopek will not compete again until he recovers from a sprained ankle (a fortnight ago, Iron-Man Zatopek ran a poor fifth in a 5,000-meter race in Prague). The mystery, however, was not solved by one bad showing of the Communists' greatest Olympics record-smasher (in the 5,000-and 10,000-meter runs, and the 26-mile, 385-yd. marathon). Only Zatopek's presence and performance in the Olympics will disclose whether his ailment, as diagnosed by his Red mentors, is a sprained ankle or a sprained tongue...
