...small comfort to San Luis Obispo that the FAA belatedly grounded all Arctic-Pacific planes. Through the week, while its flags hung at half mast, the town was as glum as the cool, grey fog that rolled in from the Pacific. Cal Poly remembered Halfback Vic Hall, an alternate 400-meter sprinter on the 1960 Olympic team. Vic wore contact lenses and had not wanted to play football, but the weak team needed him for his exceptional speed, so he had agreed to play. There was Curtis Hill, an end from Bakersfield, a smiling, studious, religious boy who had walked...
...Barbara (married to a Baltimore hydraulic engineer, Lawrence Holdridge) visit their cluttered Manhattan office only a couple of times a week to supervise some 100 pending releases. For their Shakespeare project, Partner Mantell went to London last summer to round up talent, much of it from the Old Vic and other repertory companies. Their curtain raiser is a moving and brilliant Macbeth, starring Anthony Quayle and Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies.

His fine punting--a 33-yarder that rolled dead on the Dartmouth three, and two 52-yard efforts--held the Indians at bay all afternoon. Perhaps all Maclntyre really needed was to get mad sooner; as Vic Johnson, Boston Herald cartoonist, observed, "The moral of the story is: Never rouse the ire of a MacIntyre...
...scholarship to the school at the Old Vic, followed that with four kick-about years in various rep companies. "It was rehearse all morning," she remembers, "ride the bus in the afternoon, help put up the sets, iron your own costume, slip out for a meal, give a performance, and ride the bus home at 2 a.m. That was our whole life, and it's all I wanted.
