John McCormack was just 13 when his bricklayer father died. Besides his mother, there were two younger brothers, Edward ("Knocko") and Daniel, to support. (Nine other brothers and sisters died in infancy or youth.) Mary Ellen O'Brien McCormack was a strapping woman with a great heart, who cheer fully took on the burdens of her friends and neighbors. "She was the Mary Worth of the district," says her grandson, Edward McCormack Jr. "The one whom everybody came to with their troubles, arbiter of disputes, nurse of the sick, comforter of the oppressed." But Mary Ellen could not manage...
...fully approve of all the meritorious academic pursuits of the last few years which are the goal of any great university, said a younger variety ('58), "but couldn't a little more money and/or admissions effort be given toward improving the football picture?... It is obvious the other Ivy colleges are doing much more recruiting or alloting more money than we are. Football deserves only the proper emphasis the Ivy League has placed on it. But let's not completely turn Brown into an academic oasis, as seems to be happening, without the other things that go into the making...
...Mildred Paperman had been a disappointing witness in the past. In her first court appearance, in 1958, she had shown a feminine sensitivity about her age (50 next October).

He boldly used glass, wood, clay, metal or mother-of-pearl to achieve new effects, often allowing the materials to shape their own destinies, much as today's abstractionists let their work grow out of itself. Long before the younger Henry Moore, he gouged holes in his sculpture to turn space inside out; often he would make concave what nature had made convex. He was-and still is -one of the few sculptors to use color to add dimension to his volumes. The complete sculptor, he says, should know color...
...PITCHING. Younger pitchers nursed sore arms and cursed the "rabbit ball," but New York's Whitey Ford, 33, and Milwaukee's Warren Spahn, 40, kept on winning ball games. Spahn's fast ball had lost its zip, and his legs were rubbery from 22 years on the mound, but he parlayed a new slider and an old pro's cunning into the best all-round record of any major-league pitcher. Spahn led the National League in complete games (21), earned-run average (3.01) and consecutive, victories (10), tied Cincinnati's Joey Jay for most...
