Minnie Minoso drew a walk and was sacrificed to second. Still switching players as fast as he could remember their names, Casey had brought Tom Morgan in to pitch. Understandably, Bauer dropped a wide throw, and Minoso slid into third. Even so, the Yanks seemed safe. Catcher Moss bounced a routine grounder down to Phil Rizzuto. Incredibly, the incredible happened again. Robinson dropped Rizzuto's peg, Minoso came home, and the Sox were back in front. This time they held on to their lead and walked off the field winners...
...Needed Proof. Stapp has already demolished some notable false limits on the durability of man's mind and body. He has proved that if pilots are carefully strapped into beefed-up seats and cockpits they can walk away from a large majority of crackups. He has presented his proof with argument-killing logic: his own roaring rides. Having established the practical limits of human tolerance to g forces,† he is getting ready to prove his carefully calculated theory that a jet pilot can stand the wind blast of a bail-out at Mach...
...Communist side in camp discussion groups, that he had strung up a sick fellow prisoner from a peg; his purpose, said Gallagher, was to give the sick patient exercise.

Through later years Churchill mentioned "the great American orator Bourke Cockran" so often that Lady Churchill threatened to walk off the platform if she heard the name again. A typical flight of Cockran's soaring speech: "The dweller in the tenement house, stooping over his bench, who never sees a field of waving corn, who never inhales the perfume of grasses and of flowers, is yet made the participator...
...Bethesda's most engaging gadgets is a walkie-talkie electrocardiograph about the size of a hearing aid. Developed by Captain Norman Barr, it is strapped to a patient, who goes for a walk or plays tennis while his doctor sits back in the control room, hears the patient's heart sounds on an amplifier, watches the electrical pattern on an oscilloscope and gets a tracing of this in ink. Dr. (ex-pilot) Barr has two models: one with a range of a mile, one with a range of 80 to 100 miles that he uses to study aviators...
