...Chicago's to $1.50 on Saturdays-with shaves at a firm 85?. A Chicago Saturday-night man could spend $2.35 for the legendary "shave & a haircut, two bits." Customers had their own recourse. Said a Kansas City barber, "It looks like they're saving up an extra quarter's worth of hair before they come in." Waitresses complained of smaller tips...
...load after load of trucks, tanks, gasoline, rations, dismantled aircraft, jeeps, tents and kitchen stoves. The black, mud-choked roads within the dock area were jammed bumper to bumper with mud-spattered supply trains grinding and slithering down to the ships. The supply convoys passed acres of gasoline drums, quarter-mile-long warehouses piled high with C-rations, soap, lard, coffee and fruit juices.

When Lovellette went out, Rupp took out Spivey too ("We wanted their playing time to be even"). From then on, Sophomore Guard Frank Ramsey took over the Kentucky...
Into one hour last week, CBS tried to pack all the news of the previous seven days. Listeners to Hear It Now (Fri. 9 p.m.) heard "drama for the ear" that originated in the trampled snow of North Korea, the drapery-hung walls of Lake Success and on the quarter-deck of the battleship Missouri...
