Yearly Bread. In Los Angeles, after his loaf of whole-wheat bread won first prize in the Los Angeles County Fair, Antique Dealer Streeter Blair admitted that he made the loaf last year, aged it twelve months in the Deep Freeze...
Brass Whistle. The pace of the tour was killing. Panted Furnitureman Herbert Osgood of Youngstown, Ohio: "The hours aren't long enough." Puffed Wall Streeter Franklin McClintock happily: "We don't even have time to brush our teeth!"

U.S. Army Private Leslie Streeter broke a shoulder bone. His teammate, Ragnar Ulland, soared to a crash landing in a practice ski jump and was badly bruised. Italy's downhill ski champion, Maria-Grazia Marchelli, fresh from a plaster cast, whipped down a Tofana slope at 50 m.p.h.; she wound up back on the sidelines with a torn knee ligament. In a sense, the accidents were inevitable. The traditional contests, with which...
