...Last week Poland's Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski (pronounced Vishinsky) felt the steel of the trap that has already closed upon Hungary's Cardinal Mindszenty, Yugoslavia's Cardinal Stepinac, Czechoslovakia's Archbishop Beran and China's Cardinal Tien. Secret police searched his house all night; then the government "deposed" him as primate of Poland. The Cardinal was "allowed to retire to a monastery," said the Warsaw radio. But he went with accusations of "anti-state activities" hanging over his head-a broad hint that the next step might be a propaganda trial...
...rousing spurt. He took the 28th hole to cut Littler's lead to two up, birdied the 34th and 35th to win two more and draw even with just one hole to go. But there his luck ran out. On the par-four last hole, Morey hit a trap, was on the green in three. The Navyman made it in two. As cool as ice, Gene Littler lined up a 20-ft. putt, briskly stroked it to the pin to become the new king of U.S. amateurs...
...heavy-bellied C46 over Seoul airport one night this week, pushed the stick forward and prepared to land. Suddenly the pilot noticed that the plane's hydraulic system was out of order, and that one of the landing wheels was stuck in its casing. King pried open the trap door in the floor of his cockpit, wriggled into the narrow passage in the wing of his aircraft and tried to lower the wheel by hand. For 90 minutes he wrestled in the darkness of the wing while his copilot circled Seoul, burning up surplus fuel that might roast them...

Their newspapers warned of retaliation against all who accepted the free food. "No one," thundered the Communist Neues Deutschland, "who falls into the trap of the warmongers in West Berlin can later say, when they get him into trouble, that he did not know it." They said that the food was poisoned, that a lot of it was horse meat intended for dogs. They forged copies of a West Berlin newspaper to spread misinformation about...
...music teacher, an evil, oily character named Dr. Terwilliker. Falling asleep at the keyboard, the boy is transported in a Technicolored dream to a fantastic castle in which Dr. Terwilliker keeps a mile-long two-decker piano. At this preposterous musical instrument the teacher plots and schemes to trap 500 boys ("Think of it! Five thousand fingers!") who have been dragged from their ballplaying. Happily, a likable plumber named Zabladowski comes to the rescue of the boy and his pretty mother (who was only under the unspeakable Terwilliker's hypnotic spell), and Dr. T., of course, gets his comeuppance...
