Darby Day. Mrs. Allen's was Head No. 3, but hers was not the last. The next target was ex-Schoolteacher Olin E. Darby, who had also been profiting from school contracts. As chairman of the board's purchasing and distribution committee, he was able to swing a $68,000 school contract to the Jack & Jill Ice Cream Co., which occupied a store he happened to own. And as a reward for his efforts, he was thus able to charge Jack & Jill an exorbitant rent. Last week a superior court jury convicted Darby of a felony for having...
Young Lieut. Patton, a dead-shot rifleman, banged away at the twisting target. He was outraged when the judges told him that he had scored one clean miss. Why just the day before, in a practice round, he had set an unofficial record of 98 out of 100. But Patton might well have been jittery about an upcoming ordeal. During the next four days, against the world's best athletes, he would have to 1) swim 300 meters, 2) fence from sunup to sundown, 3) ride a strange mount over 25 jumps on a rugged 5,000-meter course...
...economics were shaky but his performance was superb. It ran the gamut-cajoling, coercing, counseling, wheedling, joking, jeering.

Churchill, roared Bevan, "is not fit for his office." At this point Churchill interrupted to observe smoothly that Bevan was obviously still smarting from Churchill's wartime description of him: "a squalid nuisance...
...spontaneous outburst of patriots angered by the British troops who killed 46 Egyptian policemen at Ismailia the day before (TIME, Feb. 4). The riot was blueprinted and timed to the instant. Rioters struck at 220 different points within 30 minutes. Jeep-borne leaders coordinated the separate gangs, providing target directions, fuel and weapons...
...purebred Scottish form, the game is played on a 46-yd. strip of ice, usually on an indoor rink where the ice is more even and not subject to sudden thaws. At each end of the rink there are fixed bull's-eye targets (see diagram). Each player on a four-man team, captained by an authoritarian "skip," gets two shots at the target on each round. With a bowler's arm-swinging motion, the curler hoists a 40-lb. circular (maximum circumference: 36 in.) stone,* and sends it slithering down the ice toward the "tee line" bull...
