Insolence Regained. The New York Yankees, a team of wealth, poise, and the standoffishness of rich kids, had gone into the Series 2-1 favorites. Venturing into the vast, triple-tiered Yankee Stadium to give battle, even the Dodgers were on their dignity and obviously respectful. By the second game they were playing like demoralized sandlotters, dropping sure catches, and swinging feebly at the plate.

...years ago the world decided to start holding Olympic games again, every leap year. 1936 was a leap year and back then in the early era of Roosevelt the last Olympic games were held. In that year Jesse Owens streaked to four world's records in the Berlin Stadium, the University of Washington crew edged the best eights in the world, and miler Lou Zamperini climbed up a flagpole after a swastika and shinnied right into an international incident. Perhaps it's a sign that peace is really here; for in 1948 the world plans to hold another edition...
