...Philip Moore, 21, David Willis, 23, and Eliza beth King, 22 - found most U.S. opposition easy, but the easiest was the team of New York Giants, including Offensive Tackle Roosevelt Brown and Halfback Bob Gaiters. The match was defaulted by the Giants. "We apparently were too frightening in our warmup." said Free man. "Brown would have been putty in my hands." Shockingly Superior. The most arduous contest was a six-hour winkathon in San Francisco, in which seven U.S. teams were shut out in quick succession. The touring Britons dashed off a challenge to President Kennedy, asking him to field...
...America's Cup against Australia's Gretel would not be picked until after next month's final elimination trials. But in the first "observation" trials, two boats came out clear-cut favorites: Ted Hood's buxom $300,000 Nefertiti, the glamour boat of the warmup trials, with ten wins and only two defeats; and Weatherly, an also-ran in the 1958 cup trials, which finally found her speed with canny Skipper Bus Mosbacher (TIME.

The warmup continues in the present collection, as the author jogs his beautifully developed style through a not very demanding series of mood studies, stories and sketches...

His fellow performers both amuse and irritate him with their warmup exercises: while shooting The Hustler, Paul Newman was forever shaking his wrists like a swimmer before a race; and on the Requiem set, Anthony Quinn shadowboxes and dances up and down-"marinating," as Gleason puts it-for half an hour before a take. Gleason stands around cracking jokes and shouting...
...Danny Kaye has generously contributed his services for this extraordinary musical adventure," announced Berkshire Festival advertisements for the annual Boston Symphony Orchestra Pension Fund Concert. "The orchestra," it continued, "simply cannot accept any responsibility." When the old (48) Mitty-slicker appeared at Tanglewood (following a warmup children's concert with the Boston Pops back on the Charles the day before), he shook hands with his concertmaster and then with most of the rest of the 104 pieces, broke up the audience by portraying a maestro with a psychosomatic itch, employing a flyswatter baton for Flight of the Bumble...
