Last week, charging that injuries to his neck, shoulder and spinal disks had cost him $25,000 in doctor bills and missed concert fees, delicate Pianist Gould filed a $300,000 damage suit against Steinway for failing to curb Bill Hupfer's high-powered amiability...

The win put the surprising Packers in first place in the National Football League's Western Conference, set them up for a finish fight with 1959's champion Baltimore Colts...
