...deciding game in the Boston Garden last week, Celtic Coach Red Auerbach's carefully devised playoff plans began to fall apart. Muscleman Jim Loscutoff and Rookie Tom Heinsohn could not seem to work the double pickoff play that was meant to give Sharpshooter Bill Sharman (TIME, Dec. 31) time and space in which to sink his shots. St. Louis' stringy little veteran. Slater Martin, was sticking to Celtic Bob Cousy like an overanxious bill collector. The slickest ball-handler in the game. Cousy shook himself loose and scored from the floor only twice in 20 tries...
...have gone under. Though their combined circulation has fallen to only half the Korean war peak, the fall-off has stopped and today the 24 monthly and quarterly romance-mongers (top price: 25?) enjoy a steady circulation of more than 10 million. In the 38 years since the late Muscleman Bernarr ("Body Love") Macfadden blazed the trail with True Story, the confession industry has thrived by sticking to the same trite-and-true formula: first-person stories of subjective sex that are more often fiction than fact, and read like supercharged soap operas...

Staring coldly at Willie Bioff as he discoursed upon their activities was an imposing array of hoodlums: Gunman Paul ("The Waiter") de Lucia, Muscleman Phil ("The Squire") D'Andrea, beer-war alumnus Charles ("Cherry Nose") Gioe, Machine-Gunner Louis ("Little New York") Campagna, Frank ("The Immune") Maritote, alias Frankie Diamond. One man was not there, yet his shadow frowned large: Frank ("The Enforcer") Nitti, a successor to Al Capone, had committed suicide the day of the indictment. Duly, the directorate was convicted. It was felt that Willie did not have long to live. By making himself...
Today in the U.S. lacrosse is a familiar sport from Florida to New England and west to the campus of Ohio State. It is only natural that it is a popular offseason diversion for football players who like to keep in shape. At Maryland, Muscleman Frank Tamburello, one of the most promising quarterbacks in collegiate football, is an enthusiastic lacrosse player. And since Navy and Maryland have not met on the football field since 1952, Tamburello and his teammates have an added incentive to scuttle the Middies in lacrosse...
