...aggrieved bus driver said that, when he failed to pull his bus out of the way of Rivera's car, the famed muralist had pumped bullets at him from a .45 semiautomatic. "Nonsense," cried Artist David Siqueiros. At the moment Rivera was supposed to have been squeezing the trigger, he was actually in Jose Clemente Orozco's apartment heaving charges of artistic ineptitude at his host and Siqueiros himself...
...replace this left-wing triumvirate, the U.A.W. got a Reutherite secretary-treasurer, Emil Mazey, 34, tough and trigger-witted co-director of U.A.W. operations on Detroit's East Side; and two Reutherite vice presidents, plodding Richard Gosser, 46, of Toledo, and organizing expert John Livingston, 39, of St. Louis. Like Reuther, Mazey-who would henceforth be the U.A.W.'s No. 2 man-once held a card in the Socialist Party. He is a veteran of U.A.W. picket lines; as a G.I. he led a war's-end campaign to bring the boys home early from the Philippines...
There are two crack halfbacks on Michigan's unbeaten team, which ran wild last week against Wisconsin (40 to 6) to win the Big Nine Championship and a ticket to the Rose Bowl.

...experts ignored Leahy's coachly gloom ("We are not equipped.'We do not have the weapons"), made the Irish an 18-point favorite. They were mainly impressed by Notre Dame's trigger-armed Quarterback Johnny Lujack. But no sooner had the game begun in jampacked Notre Dame stadium than Leahy uncovered another weapon: a Fighting Irish player who was actually Irish. It took Halfback Terry Brennan exactly 21 seconds to take the opening kick-off and scamper 97 yards for a touchdown. That took the spark out of Army, although they fought hard and had carefully memorized...
Hearst Columnist Walter Winchell pulled the first trigger. In a broadcast and syndicated column, he fulminated: "The Third World War is already being fought. . . . We are losing it. ... When the Communists are ready . . . there will be 50 Pearl Harbors . . . atomic explosions erasing our cities. . . . The Communists have germ warfare already. . . . The cholera plague in Egypt is suspected abroad of being a Soviet experiment.*. . . The next countries [the Russians] intend to grab are Italy and France. . . . They need France as a base to attack Great Britain, . . . American diplomats inside the curtain are under Russian guard day & night. . . . Trained Communist spies...
