...Press before he enrolled at Harvard. Graduated in 1950, Connery worked for a year in the university's news office, then joined TIME. Ranging out of our Chicago bureau, he has sent us many memorable news reports and supplied material for cover stories on Brooklyn's Roy Campanella (TIME, Aug. 8, 1955), TV's Ed Sullivan (TIME, Oct. 17), and Architect Eero Saarinen (TIME, July...
With these efforts, it seemed that little of the Christmas spirit remained to be evoked, but Victor kept on releasing Christmassy disks until it had the subject covered in a world tour de force. The route: from Europe, with Italian Jingle Bells (Campanella, campanella, solo bella . . .) sung by Lou Monte, to South America with Christmas in Rio, tricked out in samba tempo by Tony Martin, to a cornfed, shuffling western version of Jingle Bells, played on guitar by Chet Atkins...

The Yankees came clawing back every time, getting men on the bases and bringing the potential tying or winning run to the plate. Once the Dodgers were saved by a brilliant running catch by Left Fielder Sandy Amoros. But their best defense was Podres' zipping fast ball, carefully assorted with well-disciplined...
...Fourth Game found Casey Stengel still saving his veteran pitchers while Alston was forced to work his best. They were more than good enough. Carl Erskine lasted only three innings, but Don Bessent and Clem Labine teamed up behind him to hold the Yankees off. Snider, Campanella and Hodges all homered, and Snider was superb in the field. The Yanks got scant consolation from McDougald's wasted first-inning home run. Final score: Dodgers 8, Yankees...
