...since the 19303, when Bronko Nagurski was crumpling lines for the Chicago Bears, have football fans seen such a numbing fullback as the Cleveland Browns' young (23) Jimmy Brown. Magnificently muscled (6 ft. 2 in., 228 Ibs.), Brown has a sprinter's speed, strength enough to carry along a brace of tacklers.

Barely three hours after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Taft-Hartley steel injunction (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), workers were on their way back to the mills. In Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago and other steel centers across the U.S., the millwrights, pipe fitters and laborers moved in to repair and start up the equipment that stood idle through the 116 days of the longest industry-wide steel strike in history. How long would it take for the steel industry to get back into full-scale operation...
