...Hampshire Republicans were hopelessly split and the results were disastrous. Defeated in his party's primary, Republican Governor Wesley Powell denounced the winner, State Representative John Pillsbury. Last week Powell's stubborn stand contributed to the defeat of "Big John" (6 ft. 4 in.) Pillsbury at the hands of "Little John" (5 ft. 9 in.) King, 44, minority leader of the state's house of representatives. Republican factionalism spilled over into the race to fill the Senate seat of the late Styles Bridges. In the primary, Widow Doloris Bridges fought bitterly before losing to able U.S. Representative...
About a week before she died, a culture inoculated with Mrs. Roosevelt's bone marrow produced the bacilli of tuberculosis. This was almost certain proof that TB had been the mysterious and stubborn lung infection, and an immediate cause of her fever. Most of the dozens of doctors called in on the case agreed that in patients of Mrs. Roosevelt's age, it is not unusual to find the blood-forming mechanism out of kilter in some obscure fashion. And in anybody as determined to keep going as she was, it was not surprising that TB germs (which...
...Southern California's powerful Trojans: a 14-0 victory over Washington's stubborn, undefeated (but twice tied) Huskies that gave No. 3-ranked U.S.C. the inside track to the Rose Bowl. In another battle of unbeatens, Missouri shackled Nebraska's high-scoring (30 points per game until last week) offense and won easily, 16-7. In the Big Ten, where any team can win-or lose-on any given Saturday, the underdogs got sweet revenge: Illinois upset Purdue, 14-10; Iowa trounced Ohio State, 28-14; Minnesota beat Michigan State, 28-7; and No. 1-ranked Northwestern...
Raking the Ranks. Behind all this Nordic furor stood two stubborn men, stiffened by an antagonism as ridiculous as it was real. One was Franz-Josef Strauss, 47, West Germany's bull-bodied, bull-tempered Minister of Defense, who for all his bulk has a skin thin enough to invite puncturing. The other was Der Spiegel's frail, blond Publisher Rudolf Augstein, 39, who has seldom missed a chance to play the matador to Defense Minister Strauss's bull...
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (3-0): California's exploding population produces such good young football players that Coach Johnny McKay's defensive unit is largely composed of sophomores. He professes to be worried. But the stubborn Trojans limited Duke to just 55 yds. and held Iowa scoreless for the first time in ten years. On offense McKay can take his pick of three hard-throwing quarterbacks, has one of the nation's top ends in Junior Hal Bedsole, a converted quarterback who has already caught three touchdown passes this year. U.S.C.'s offense will be even better when...
