GAMBLER FRANK COSTELLO has nothing worse than chronic laryngitis now, his doctor testified last week, but in 1933 it was cancer of the vocal cords. Manhattan Specialist Douglas Quick said that 28 X-ray treatments in a three-month period licked the cancer, but left Costello with considerable scar tissue. The scar tissue was just one of the reasons for Costello's laryngitis, the doctor believed. The other: too many cigarettes...
Crimson rooters have been quite vocal in showing their approval of Block-house entertainment, but basketball games might be more enjoyable if these fans were less vociferous. The Dartmouth Daily recently boasted about the "unexcelled spirit" shown at Big Green basketball contests. This particular brand of Dartmouth "spirit" largely consists in cursing the officials and rocking the field house during every opponent's foul shot. Harvard fans have little to gloat about.

Milan's Il Tempo: "Conley has again proved his excellent vocal technique, his facility in moving among the highest notes," but, added Rome's Il Tempo, "beside [Soprano Callas] he appeared more her page than her promised."

But even...
...militarists' more vocal spokesmen is bullet-headed, bullet-riddled ex-Colonel Shigenobu Tsuji (30 times wounded in campaigns in China, Burma, Malaya and India). Tsuji crackles as he talks, speaking, as he puts it in the Japanese phrase, "with his drawers down." He is on the government's purge list, but makes no effort to hide his contempt for the purge and for Liberal Premier Yoshi-da's administration. He has written a book in which he seriously questions whether the U.S. can win an all-out war with Russia. Tsuji wants U.S. arms but he does...
