...years Chicago Cartoonist Russell Stamm, 40, drew his comic strip Scarlet O'Neil without attracting much attention. Then, two years ago, into the big-city adventures in the strip ambled Stainless Steel, a Texas sheriff far from home. He had flowing blond hair and the physique of a Michelangelo statue. "In general," drawled Stainless, "heroics is mah business." His business soon proved so successful that the number of papers taking the strip from the Chicago Sun-Times Syndicate rose from 126 to 148 (including 39 in foreign countries). This week Stainless Steel was getting ready to perform a most...
...American Rugby player at Oxford, Rhodes Scholar Vincent W. Jones, 24, a blond California giant (6 ft. 3 in., 227 Ibs.), had several surprises. Jones knew the rules, but not the British customs. After his first Oxford game-against Richmond, on Oct. 16-he assumed that he had made the team, showed up the following Monday for practice.

Layne, a T-formation specialist, led the Lions out of the National Football League's cellar, called the plays and fired the passes that won them the national championship in 1952 and 1953. He is currently doing his bruising best...
...permits few turndowns, was stunned when Liberace's lawyers said no. Recovering quickly, Capp invented a new character, Loverboynik by name, who bears an astonishing similarity to Liverachy. Loverboynik is a mad, foppish, candle-less TV pianist with a squealing female public and a mass of platinum blond hair. Capp insists that "Loverboynik is not Liberace because he can play the piano quite well and he doesn't giggle hysterically." Modestly, the cartoonist adds: "I don't think he's as funny as Liberace...
