...string of five coal carts up an incline, or tugging along a 4½-ton truck. Top challenger Willi Lehner, 36, a 230-lb. stonemason from Unterpeissen-berg, was fond of hanging suspended by his finger from the claw of a derrick. Dressed in their holiday leather knickers and green felt hats, the wrestlers wound their legs around steel stools (wooden chairs would snap like toothpicks), and at the umpire's command "Auf!" tried to pull their opponent's hand across a line drawn a foot from the center of the oak table. During minute-long deadlocks, noses...
...Last Angry Man (Columbia), the hero of Gerald Green's cinemadaptation of his bestselling novel, is a cranky, kindly, old-fashioned family doctor with the sort of character that practice makes perfect. Dr. Sam Abelman (Paul Muni) lives and works in one of the worst neighborhoods in Brooklyn, loves and cares for his patients day and night, though most of them are too ignorant to appreciate him and too poor to pay his bills.

But it is at least a yellow caution light. Next on ICC's docket is the proposed merger between the Erie and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, whose combined loss in 1959's first half is more than $2,000,000. A clear track for this second major combination would revive industrywide merger talks (e.g., between the Pennsylvania and the New York Central...
...Green has picked up more than two-thirds of its yardage and all three of its touchdowns through the air. Passing, from Gundy and his understudies Jack Kinderdine and Seth Moger, obviously plays a key role in the Indian's V-formation offense. Halfback Al Rozycki has grabbed fourteen aerials, while Crouthamel has caught six, including two for touchdowns. Dartmouth may well be the best passing team the Crimson has faced this year...
