...streak of success came none too soon for Egypt's ruler, who has poured vast quantities of men and money behind the republican regime that deposed the Imam in a palace coup two years ago. Since then, it has been touch and go for the 30,000 to 40,000 Egyptian soldiers who managed to cling to the towns and a few main roads. The royalist tribes, led by Imam Badr and princes of the royal family, controlled the mountains of the center and north...
...early-morning prediction should raise his wetting streak to two days. Things were looking relatively bright for the Classmates until about 8 p.m. yesterday. During the day, less than a tenth of an inch of rain had fallen in the Boston area. Drought conditions still prevailed, the Weather Bureau maintained...
There is no rational reason why the Mets should ever score 19 runs in a game. But maybe they were rereading those grand old boys' books, Baseball Joe and Double Curve Dan.

...Guthrie competes handsomely with the Olivier film, his leading actor does not. The pattern of George Grizzard's gifts and limitations comes clearer with each performance he gives. When there is a broad streak of nastiness in a character, Grizzard plays the role splendidly, but something sly, evasive and insecure in his countenance and bearing saps all conviction from his attempts to play parts like Hamlet and Henry V.

So far this year, he has hit safely in 24 of his first 27 games, including a 20-game streak, and leads the National League in just about everything: hits (46), home runs (14), runs scored (29), runs batted in (35). His average for 109 trips to the plate: .422, 80 points ahead of Williams at the same stage of the 1941 season...
