...really that cold last night. Now it may well turn out to be the coldest winter since '88, and the cattle industry will probably be destroyed again (as if it wasn't already under the prosperity of the present administration). But the reason you woke up in a cold sweat was pending examinations; the temperature only reached the low teens last night. The highest we can hope for tomorrow is a low '20s reading and some of the other kind. It'll clear up tomorrow evening and remain cold, but as the feller said, "Let the day's trouble...
...Bread & Sweat. Reporting back to the tall colonel, who turned out to be Colonel Pal Maleter (later Defense Minister in the ten-day government of Imre Nagy), Peter at last ate some bread and tea. "Guys were sitting around everywhere. Many were sleeping on the floor." Sweating it out, Peter had time to think about the consequences of what he had done. He decided to go home. He told his wife he had been working all this time. But when he heard the official radio call the Freedom Fighters "counterrevolutionaries and fascists," he knew there would be reprisals...
...Australia's Ken Rosewall and Lew Hoad hardly worked up a sweat making a clean sweep (5-0) of the challenge round for the Davis Cup.

With the big silver punch bowl lost to the Aussies for the second successive year, wishful-thinking U.S. fans salvaged some consolation from Giammalva's performance and the fact that Ken Rosewall decided right...

Old (70) Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, abed with a virus infection and 102° temperature the day his troops struck into the Sinai peninsula, was a deeply happy man, hailed by his people. Though pale and sweat-beaded with fever, he appeared in the jammed, jubilant Knesset, and with rapt crowds listening at loudspeakers all over Jerusalem, triumphantly reviewed "the glorious military operation that lasted seven days...
...lack of manpower, it was compelled to use the implements of mobility simply to sit and survive . . . The fighting which resulted seemed like a deadly form of shadow boxing." Marshall gives a harrowing example: eight 7th Division newcomers went out on patrol one warm night, expecting "no sweat"; all eight were later found dead in a circle, shot in ambush by a foe so close that some victims bore powder burns. Says Marshall: "You can't beat Davy Crockett with a Boy Scout." But many of the "Boy Scouts" fought the foe to a draw...
