...Crack in the Dam." No sooner was the date set than Hoffa flew to Chicago to help Pal Joey. At a mass meeting of drivers, he blasted Abata, warned that "he wants to take away your bargaining power." He also pulled a typical Hoffa trick. Just as onetime Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis had been brought into court four years ago to impress eight Negro jurors when Hoffa was on trial for bribery, the Teamsters' boss enlisted Track Star Jesse Owens to impress Local 777's large Negro membership.

...Trick Dredge. The problem was solved by Woods Hole's Andrew Nalwalk, who designed a special dredge that would flip itself free if it got snagged on a boulder. Three hundred feet up its cable it carried a "pinger," whose sound could be detected by the Chain four miles above. The interval between the pinger's sound and its reflection from the bottom told the scientists when the dredge was on the bottom and moving with its cable at a proper angle. This eliminated "kiting" (sailing above the bottom) and snarl-ups caused by letting out too much...

Three days after Blasingame arrived, the Reds took off on a nine-game winning streak, by the end of May were in first...
...selfesteem, and it is a great pleasure to watch them cheat each other at cards or craftily set a derby hat in the street and wait for a sucker to break his toe on the brick inside. Each plays the fool well, and each also accomplishes the difficult trick of playing the wise man-Chevalier when he tells his young wife of an old man's love, and Boyer when he explains to Marius that the child Marius fathered now belongs rightfully to Panisse...
