Similar preparation for subsequent draft meetings has panned out as well or better. Now Greasy Neale has a talented team that can make his own highly refined T tick. Weak only at the ends, it boasts an undeniable line ribbed with two All Americas, 215-lb. Tackle Al Wistert (ex-Michigan) and 220-lb. Guard Bob Suffridge (Tennessee). Redheaded Steve Van Buren (Louisiana State), who breaks ten seconds for 100 yards, stops on a dime, runs either around or over a tackler with his 207 lbs., is perhaps the best halfback in the game. Quarterback Roy Zimmerman (San Jose State...
...knows the whole formula for completing the atom bomb. The Major forthwith undergoes some heavy-handed plastic surgery to give him buck teeth, slant eyes and a puffy face which make him look less like a Jap than like a man with a chronic hangover. In the tick of a time fuse he is being smuggled into Japan by the Korean underground as Sergeant Tomo Takashima, a returning war hero. He gets a job in a prison hospital, where he finds his nuclear scientist. By a streak of dazzling luck he also finds that the hospital's head nurse...

U.S. soldiers were asking and getting $500 for a $20 wristwatch; $700 for a wristwatch with an impressively loud tick and a luminous dial. For a bar of chocolate they could get a girl...
...ranch and in the town. Realtor Ben Scherck had scores of queries from interested people, but doubted that they would buy (one hopeful client believed the ranch could be converted into a helicopter factory). Most would also find the price ($125,000) a little steep. Last week Scherck got tick fever, retired to his bed, groaning, "God, I ache all over." But he brightened at a visit from a rough, rich Texas cattleman, who sounded as though he might fit Lost Cabin...
From the British Ministry of Agriculture last week came news of an insecticide which may be as good as famed DDT, and perhaps better. Known in wartime code as "666," it is a simple chemical: hexa-chloro-benzene. In tests on parasitic mites and ticks (Acorida) it proved much more effective than DDT. On mangy rats infested with itch mites it worked a complete cure and, unlike DDT, proved entirely harmless to the animals. It may be the answer to scabies in animals and man, and to many tick-borne diseases...
