...experiment in international relations, the H-Y-P teams and their Bermudan opponents played amazingly friendly games of rugby, even if American techniques, influenced by football, were occasionally unorthodox for the Britishers. American players tend to carry the ball as in football most of the time, instead of dribbling it with the feet, often the customary English method of advancing the ball down the field. Usually the Crimson players, if they heard the spectators crying "at your feet, Harvard," paid no attention whatsoever and kept on running and twisting with the ball. In the case of Paul Lazzaro...
...Walt & Welt last week had contracts for $121,050,000 a backlog few U.S. architects can match. Like all their contracts, they had won last week's new business, as they have been winning it for years, by smooth salesmanship, a rising reputation for deftly mixing traditional and unorthodox designs, and a knack for "dollar-stretching...
...took Eccles' place was somewhere to the right of Eccles' "unorthodox" doctrines, though perhaps not as far as some loudly applauding bankers thought.

He also believes that great efforts should be made to control inflation. The difference between the two may be largely one of method. Amiable, smiling Tom McCabe gets along with...
...Ballade was loss satisfactory. The piece itself is too long, too repetitions, and despite its extraordinary beauty, exaggeratedly dolorous. Horowitz, by underplaying it, made it, perhaps, more acceptable to his audience, but thereby failed to get the idea across. Furthermore, his rubato was rather unorthodox and his left hand, at times, too prominent, thus creating the episodic effect of a Classical Rondo, rather than the flowing contimity so typical of Chopin...
...Russia there is little room for such ideologically unorthodox characters as Baba-Yaga. Since Lenin, writers of the new Soviet skazki have been instructed to fashion their fairy tales as "pictures of the Socialist way of life."* But Soviet writers cannot always follow Soviet Socialism. In Moscow last week Baba-Yaga might have chuckled a hearty witch's chuckle. Two of her Socialist successors-Bread Crumb and Gunpowder Crumb-were being boiled...
