...Hammarstrom to the Pacific Coast to design a brother church, St. Anselm's in Lafayette, Calif., where some 450 parishioners assemble within the octagonal space, none more than seven rows from the altar. In a service that both appeals to Americans' democratic instincts and, as one parishioner put it, resembles "sitting around the holy table as in an apostolic age," clergy and even the bishop sit among the people, and laymen rise from their pews in the congregation to read the Old Testament lesson and the Epistle. Even the unvested choir is no longer segregated, but sits with...
...team had ever before made the Davis Cup playoff, and not since 1936 had the Americans been shut out. Resigned to defeat, the Italians had even reserved seats on a plane flight leaving for home right after their matches with the U.S. The very first day of play nearly put the Italians on the plane: the U.S.'s belligerent Butch Buchholz, 20, beat Sirola 6-8, 7-5, 11-9, 6-2, and brooding Barry MacKay, 25, defeated Pietrangeli, 8-6, 3-6, 8-10, 8-6, 13-11. Muffling his sobs in a towel, Pietrangeli...

First pick of the Angels: erratic Yankee Righthander Eli Grba, 26. The Senators first chose aging (35) Yankee Pitcher Bobby Shantz, then promptly traded him to Pittsburgh for Reliefer Benny Daniels and two minor leaguers...
...week, a 98-ft. Atlas-Able rocket rose majestically from its launching pad and for 68 seconds cut a brilliant, steady swath through the Florida sky. Then, suddenly, the rocket's nose lurched, and an instant later a red-orange mushroom blast shattered the sixth U.S. attempt to put a paddle-wheel satellite in orbit around the moon. If the feat had succeeded, it would have rivaled even the Russian successes of hitting the moon and photographing its backside...
