...Congress' "crippling" cuts in NASA funds. But in fact Congress trimmed NASA funds in the current fiscal year by less than 6%-from $530 million to $500 million-and Glennan helped bring on that cut himself when he argued at a congressional hearing that extra funds could not speed up U.S. space progress...
...game in its last five minutes when his team is only two touchdowns behind-any club can, and may, explode in those five minutes and win. Pro football is a game in which every carefully selected, battle-tried man seems larger than life, not only in skill and speed, but in sheer brute strength...
...since the 19303, when Bronko Nagurski was crumpling lines for the Chicago Bears, have football fans seen such a numbing fullback as the Cleveland Browns' young (23) Jimmy Brown. Magnificently muscled (6 ft. 2 in., 228 Ibs.), Brown has a sprinter's speed, strength enough to carry along a brace of tacklers.

And even the lowly Los Angeles Rams, at the bottom...

He pronounced the pictures in excellent condition-while at the same time warning that another year of neglect would ruin them forever-took them away, and restored them all with "chemical solvents" in three weeks. Since proper restoration of deteriorated paintings can require as much as a year apiece, Zlatoff-Mirsky's speed was astonishing. At Lawyer Giesler's press conference, he refused to show the actual pictures but passed photographs about. There were also pictures of the most happy Folio himself...
