...third period the varsity wasn't in trouble until an elbow-check penalty to Anderson at 14:24. A Yale slap shot from 15 feet went through a tangle of players in front of the goal but luckily found Pratt's stick instead of an opening. With only four seconds remaining in the same penalty, defenseman Mike Graney broke alone out of his own zone, but his shot was stopped by Jones...
Suffering from shock and bruised ribs, the Premier was moved from Mrs. Bailey's cottage to a private room on the third floor of London Clinic. It was there that Adnan Menderes, in pajamas and dressing gown, received British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and Greek Premier Constantine Karamanlis three days after the crash. Somebody brought them one of the hospital's fountain pens. And in that most undiplomatic of settings, the three men signed the agreement that ended the four-year dispute over Cyprus and brought the island the promise of independence for the first time since...
...years the Chicago Black Hawks piled up the sorriest record of any team in major-league hockey-a game played almost exclusively by Canadians living in or visiting the U.S. in pursuit of their trade.*In all that time, the Black Hawks managed to finish as high as third only once, wound up dead last in nine of the past twelve seasons.

One of the Cyprus reconcilers: James himself, who in London last week helped swing Archbishop Makarios behind the agreement, then prepared...
...years ago, declining sales usually meant a decline in profits. But now many a company can post smart profits even when sales dip. Goodyear Tire & Rubber was down 3.8% in sales for 1958, yet managed to hit record profits, up 2% to $6.08 per share. After a poor third quarter, Reynolds Metals did so well in the last quarter that it actually increased its full-year earnings slightly, to $3.25 per share. Du Pont had the best fourth quarter in three years, with profits 20% better than the same quarter of 1957, while Textron's net jumped...
