...Y.M.C.A. Indian Guides program nationally boasts many hundreds of tribes and tens of thousands of big and little braves. Correct this error or risk the wrath of many braves taking the warpath...
Thre is something magical about a fifteen story building on stilts, somethings that incites usually complacent city planners and historians almost to wrath, that brings a far-off look to the eyes of businessmen. Think now, a solution to the MTA bus problem with elevators and a terminal, a solution to the Square parking problem by addition of nearly 150 spaces.

...Robert Lovett, a Republican who held down half a dozen key offices with distinction in the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations, failed because of his poor health, but Lovett was a prime mover in recommending Rusk and McNamara.

Riding the bench as though it were a bronco in full buck, McGuire baits officials ("I must hold the Carolina record for technical fouls"), indicates uncontrollable wrath by rising ominously from his seat and taking off his coat. Behind him, as if on signal, Abbey rooters stand to doff theirs in sympathy. Showman McGuire has also outraged basketball purists by offering to buy every spectator an ice-cream bar if Abbey lost-it did, but the ice cream was donated free by a manufacturer-and by insisting that there...
