...then there was not much humor in De Valera either." James Dillon might make up for that. Dillon, who used to say that Dev's agricultural policy was "no eggs, no poultry, no bacon, and damned little of anything else," became Costello's Minister for Agriculture. Arch-Nationalist Sean MacBride, whose Clann na Poblachta joined the coalition, became Minister for External Affairs...
...Louis, the "Gateway to the West," wanted a gate to mark the spot. The citizens offered $125,000 in prizes for the best ideas. Last week the winning design was announced: a stainless steel, streamlined, 590-ft.-high arch to rise beside the Mississippi on a site which was formerly occupied mostly by old warehouses.

His prize this time: $40,000 and a warm recommendation...

And over them he sometimes succeeded in weaving a deep sparkle of color which few U.S. contemporaries could touch...
...dared the Aggies to come after it; instead they stood in their defensive positions. With tactics like that, DePaul out-slowed the Aggies, 32-31. The defeat only convinced the Aggies that slow basketball is winning basketball. Last week the Aggies sludged past Tulsa (42-27), and gave arch-rival Oklahoma U. a lesson (45-30) in the waltz. It was victory No. 17 against two defeats...
