...range of resorts is strung along the 135-mile-long northern coastline. To the west, some eight miles from the Montego Bay airport, is famed Round Hill-less of a jet-set fairground than it was five years ago, but still a cosmopolitan cluster of airy shareholder houses around a crescent bathing cove that is carefully combed for spiky sea urchins and other subterranean surprises. If their owners are away, visitors may be able to rent the Henry Tiarkses' capacious "cottage" (British Press Lord Esmond Rothermere is currently in residence), or the William Paleys' swimming-pooled pavilion (where...
...horror when I saw warming up for them none other than George Davis, a perfectly eligible Law School student, whom they had not called upon for the preliminary games. Now Davis, a Williams graduate, had been the best pitcher in intercollegiate baseball for three years. His record was strung with one and two hitters, and he was almost unbeatable.

Some 20,000 burp-gun-toting infantry stormed over Thag La ridge and swept away a 5,000-man Indian brigade strung out along the Kechilang River. The surprise was complete, and dazed survivors of the Chinese attack struggled over the pathless mountains, where hundreds died of exposure. In Ladakh the Chinese scored an even bigger victory, occupying the entire 14,000 square miles that Peking claims is Chinese territory...
...come to our attention that an unfriendly group has deliberately attempted to subvert this Doctrine. Low-altitude photographs taken over Massachusetts Avenue only last Wednesday furnish firm, clear, and undeniable evidence that on the thirty-first of October agents of the Harvard Square merchants strung up several strands of offensive colored lights along the Avenue between the Square and the Harvard...
