Without Malarkey. His stomach would begin to churn and his brown eyes got watery and bloodshot. Normally calm and pleasant, he changed into a grouch. Says Mel: "I feel weak-weak as a kitten -when I walk on the field. I feel too tired to warm up, and I don't warm up much. Not as much as other fellows." U.S.C. Coach Dean Cromwell (now head coach of the Olympic track team), who has a reputation for inspiring his athletes with well-chosen malarkey, never goes near...
...himself. The fans were staying away from Ebbets Field; Rickey had cut down the number of cheaper seats, and sold down the river such Flatbush heroes as Dixie Walker and Eddie Stanky. And the Dodgers were wallowing in next to last place. Rickey couldn't help remembering the calm, sure way Burt Shotton had run the team (and won a pennant) when Durocher was kicked out of baseball last season (TIME, April 21, 1947).

As bad or worse, Miss Dietrich is going around scot free; she is even singing in a nightclub. Millard Mitchell, a levelheaded, wisecracking colonel, does his best to calm Miss Arthur down; but since she is falling for Captain Lund, she doesn't calm easily. At long last she comes to realize that the Army always has its reasons: Miss Dietrich is being used to smoke her jealous Nazi lover out of hiding. By the time he emerges...
...waiters and orders a sandwich and glass of milk from the cafeteria. Reporters like the way Garst seeks their judgment on a story's value (Garst: "How much space do you want to give it?"), respect the quick but never superficial reading he gives their copy, admire his calm in a news crisis. Said Star Reporter Meyer Berger last week: "A damn good executive...
