...Guns. From the sore spot at Arnhem-the most dangerous point for break out into the north German plain-the enemy pulled out more tanks and men, hurled them against Hodges' lines in a new assault. The Americans had seen the reserves and the armor piling up, were braced for the onslaught. When it came this week, the battle became one of the fiercest yet fought in the west...
...Roosevelt lightly passed over the sore old Democratic subject of poll taxes, with a brief mention that the polls should be open to all citizens-"without tax or artificial restriction." And, for the second time in a fortnight, he accused GOPsters of trying to make it hard for U.S. servicemen to vote: "There are politicians and others who quite openly worked to restrict the use of the ballot in this election, hoping selfishly for a small vote...
...straight games in three years of Army pitching (including a recent victory over Sacramento of the Pacific Coast League). The Fort Lewis (Wash.) pitcher is a 30-year-old ex-minor leaguer, who won 24, lost 19 with Springfield of the Three-I League before retiring with a sore arm.

Plan for fostering community action through public...

During the rest pauses, super-active Randolph would think up various picnic pleasures, such as constructing a nice bivouac when all we wanted was to be left alone and lie in the grass. He never fussed about the cold, hunger, thirst, sore feet or German bullets, and only raised hell when the Partisan barber wanted to give him a shave without hot water. He smoked what the rest of us did, and the Russian general and I rolled cigarets for him, pasting them with our tongues. Mine would always fall apart in Churchill...
