...Callaway) Hunt, 61, completed a lengthy hospital checkup, announced that because of ill health (a kidney ailment) he would not run again. One morning last week, Hunt entered the Senate Office Building, his coat partially cloaking a .22-cal. Winchester rifle. In his office, Hunt sat down in the swivel chair behind his desk and fired a shot through his brain. Four hours later, after emergency surgery failed, Lester Hunt was dead...
...Detroit Lions' Quarterback Bobby Layne hardly measures up to Cleveland's Otto Graham as a passer. During the past National Football League season, Layne completed only 46% of his passes, compared to Graham's 65%. But versatile Bobby Layne has other virtues.

Recalls Little: "Some copyreader or some louse of an editor would get rough with my magnificent prose, and I'd feel in my pocket to see how much dough I had. If I had enough for a railroad ticket...
...wide that I soon' became known as the decathlon man." Among his many titles: ski editor. That title and the experience came in handy when TIME'S editors picked the cover subject for the issue of Jan. 21, 1952. The subject: Andrea Mead Lawrence, a swivel-hipped girl of grace and speed, captain of the U.S. women's Olympic ski team...
