When the procession passed the presidential mansion, the mob shouted anti-Rhee slogans, wanted to carry Shinicky's body in to Rhee. Police fired over their heads. Under cover of a barrage of stones, about 300 demonstrators continued to advance. The guards lowered their rifles and fired a volley into the mob, wounding several. Police reinforcements soon ar rived, breaking up the biggest riot against Rhee since the end of the Korean...
...airport, doffing a broad-brimmed grey fedora and waving an amiable hand, Malenkov was plainly ready to charm the masses. Thanks to the Yard, there were no masses present, but Georgy made up for their lack by pumping the hands of a cordon of British dignitaries and aiming a volley of telling smiles into the distant lenses of a battery of news photographers.

Eternity & Everywhere. The curtain rises to a rising ah of delight that passes into a volley of applause. The setting by Jo Mielziner is a striking thing.

The decisive volley was a pair of announcements last week by Australia's top singles players, Lewis Hoad and Kenneth Rosewall, declaring that they would stay in amateur tennis and rejecting the $45,000-a-year professional contracts offered them by U.S. Promoter Jack Kramer. Since U.S. Singles Champion Tony Trabert, the only U.S. player in the Australians' class, has already signed a pro contract (TIME, Oct. 24), a successful U.S. challenge for the Davis Cup next year looks hopeless...
