...solicitously. "You should not let him run such distances until he is older." For the first 14 laps, Lindgren (no kin to Blaine) stuck doggedly just off the pace. Then, just to see if he could do it, he kicked past both Russians and sprinted a lap. At the 22nd lap, he began to tire. But he heard the cheering crowd and started to worry about disappointing everybody. On he ran, chest heaving, arms pumping, opening his lead with every stride-40 yds., 60, 80. At the finish, he was a full 100 yds. in front, and the roar that...
...known to company insiders as "the Cabinet." It is made up of an extremely close-knit and like-minded group of men (median age: 57) with strikingly similar backgrounds. They feel most comfortable with their own kind, even to the extent of lunching together every day in the 22nd-floor executive dining room. Three-quarters of them come from small towns, only a handful went to Ivy League universities, and ten of them have engineering training. In an age when more and more companies are bossed by accountants, salesmen or lawyers, A.T.&T. remains one of the few giants dominated...

The French welcome was appropriate, for it was addressed to men of Canada's Royal 22nd Regiment, which is about 98% French-speaking. Canada's advance party took off from Ontario while the Security Council was still debating the formation of the United Nations peace-keeping force in Cyprus-which will unfortunately be known as U.N.F.I.C.Y.P.-and it landed in Nicosia far ahead of contingents also due from Brazil, Sweden, Ireland, Austria and Finland. There was reason to hurry, because...
...word memoirs stems from the French for memory, and at 84, or almost, the Old Soldier has a more glory-filled one than most. On the 22nd anniversary of the Battle of Bataan, Long Island University draped the aqua-colored hood of a doctor of letters-his 17th honorary degree-on General of the Army Douglas MacArthur. "Sentiment has muddled many problems," said MacArthur, whose memoirs began in LIFE last week, "but has settled none. In the long advance of civilization, no facet has quite reached the importance of a full education...
