Scoops & Swipes. Any area in the Statler Hotel (S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A. headquarters) big enough for four men rang out in close harmony. Young and old, starch-shirted and sport-shirted, coated and uncoated, they harmonized. They bobbed and ducked in unison, cupped their ears, blew pitch pipes, rolled their eyes, leaned on each other's shoulders, swayed and rose on their toes. As elevators stopped at quiet floors and the doors opened, Carolina Moon or Bidin' My Time blasted down the hall. From behind closed doors and in the men's roona bits and pieces of When You Wore...
Observers felt the varsity oarsmen rowed one of their smoothest races of the season, the last before the Yale duel on June 19. Their cadence was controlled and their cars neatly caught the water as they swung in unison. Four days before the race Coach Harvey Love had made his only line-up change of the rowing year when he moved Dick Darrell from three to seven position in place of Dick Higgins who dropped back to Darrell's place...
When British Photographer Felix Man began compiling a book on eight contemporary European artists, he asked each of his subjects to contribute a drawing and a statement on his philosophy of art. The contributions soon arrived from seven: Georges Braque ("I search rather to put myself in unison with nature than to copy her"), Marc Chagall ("A painting is born into the world like a child").

Photographers' flashbulbs and shopkeepers' eyes popped in happy unison as the sleek green Cunard luxury liner Caronia tied up at a Kobe pier side. "A particularly wonderful group," clucked an official of the Japan Travel Bureau as a long line of Helen Hokinson ladies and balding gentlemen picked their way down the gangplank. "I should estimate that they came 95% to buy souvenirs and only 5% for sightseeing-a tedious business anyway...
...week long bobsledders from seven nations-Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Italy and the U.S.-crackled down Cortina's precipitous run with ever-increasing speed. "Bobbing" (i.e., swinging and swaying) in unison to get the last watch-tick of speed from the razor-sharp sled runners, the sledders had knocked an impossible 4.6 seconds off the Cortina record: from 1:24.34 for the mile-long run down to 1:19.74. When the championship heats began, it was Feierabend's red sled, with the white Swiss cross on its cowling, that held the course record...
