Sweetening. Muggsy well remembers the old wave. He had learned his broad, lazy, middle-register style as a scrawny kid, sitting on the curb outside Chicago's Pekin Cafe, listening chin-in-hand to the stream of notes pouring from the golden horns of Joe ("King") Oliver and Louis ("Satchmo") Armstrong. He got his first job at 14, blew his head off from 8:30 at night to 4:30 in the morning for $25 a week...
Every day letters stream into his office on Madison Avenue posing all kinds of church problems. In his spare time he is making radio, TV and church appearances to discuss religious affairs.

They expected to shoot up the approaching U.S. force when it stopped to ponder ways & means of getting across the stream. But the U.S. column was armor-tipped, and the tanks apparently panicked two of the waiting North Koreans; they broke from their foxholes and ran. That gave the Red play away. The U.S. tanks splashed across the stream while doughfeet swarmed across the bridge's torn girders. The Reds who stayed...
