...slid to the ice time and again to block shots with their bodies. McCartan himself covered every corner of the cage with his big stick and big glove, bought time for hardy forwards like the Clearys and Minnesota's Bill Christian to wear down the Russians by sheer superior skating, swing the balance of the game in the third period. Final score: U.S. 3, Russia...
...defense against poliomyelitis reached the U.S. last week. Biggest offensive was launched in Miami and surrounding Dade County, where the entire under-40 population, estimated at 520,000, was marshaled in an effort to show that a single swallow of the three-way vaccine is not only safe but superior to Salk. By week's end the campaign's sponsors tallied more than 75,000 who had taken the vaccine. They hoped to run the total close to the half-million mark before April, which would make this the biggest test of any live vaccine in U.S. medical...
...piece of professional entertainment, The Last Voyage is plainly superior to the picture it was patterned after, the British version of the loss of the Titanic.

His strong surgeon's hands were steady, his greying, close-cropped hair neatly brushed, his handsome face marked with confidence and a seeming eagerness to tell his story. With that eager telling last week began the climax of a remarkable murder trial, concerning, as most do, lust and money, but also involving such elements as wife swapping and credit ratings, such characters as a self-styled lady killer, a brash mistress and a hysterical maid...
Apologist Needed. Historian Catton writes of Grant with passion and admiration. Yet he accepts the new evaluation of Grant's superior, General in Chief Henry Halleck, that was strongly advanced by Historian Kenneth Williams in his massive Lincoln Finds a General. Halleck had long been dismissed as a well-intentioned duffer, but Catton, like Williams, concedes that "on balance" he did Grant more good than harm...
