...prevailed; they argued that after all McCulloch had just presented the Merchants with three runs. The fans returned to the stands and McCulloch went back to the mound. Respectfully, the Merchants stood far back from the plate. But Frank's sizzler began to work. He went on to strike out 19 batters and even walloped a seventh-inning homer, but the damage was done-Verdi lost...
Before the settlement, the U.S. lost about 800,000 ingot tons of steel because of the twelve-hour strike of the steelworkers. This week the men were back to work; their leader, silver-haired, mellifluent David J. McDonald, was almost satisfied that he was keeping up with the Reuthers (TIME, June 13 et seq.).

Then Kostelanetz turned gracefully away from Washington's National Symphony Orchestra to a man standing in front of the podium, who promptly let fly across the stage with a bowling ball and scored a clean-and noisy-strike. Kostelanetz beamed at the rumble and thud. A few minutes later the music sped up to sound like a bustling city: a rescue-squad man started a wailing siren, a park policeman astride his motorcycle to the right of the stage blew his whistle...
