Stuart Symington's will to victory traces back to a special kind of poverty that he endured in childhood-not the numbing poverty of the slum poor but the stinging poverty of the semi-broke genteel. At the time of Stu's birth, his father was a teacher of Romance languages at Massachusetts' Amherst College. But he soon quit as a result of a quarrel with the college president, moved his family to New York, where he studied law at night, scraping a living by translating documents for export-import firms. A few years later, the family...
...edict blew up a storm all over Canada. Snapped the Toronto Telegram: "The idea that 'fat teachers aren't good teachers' is absolutely ridiculous.

...best-passing Sunday-school teacher that Dallas ever had. For when he is not teaching the youngsters at the Lovers' Lane Methodist Church, bullnecked, rangy (6 ft. 3 in., 195 Ibs.) Don Meredith plays quarterback for Southern Methodist. Last week Meredith had a painfully sprained thumb on his passing hand and a charley horse to boot when he faced tough Texas Tech. But in the fourth period, with the score tied 7-7, Meredith faded with the ball, twice wiggled free of tacklers, and floated a 31-yd. touchdown pass into the end zone. As S.M.U. went...
