...hopping 22,600 miles to nine African capitals in eleven days is a junket to curdle the courage of the strong. But Hubert H. Humphrey possesses a special brand of fortitude. Last week, as his vice-presidential safari winged wearily across Africa from mishap to minor disaster, the indefatigable Humphrey averaged less than four hours' sleep a night and, seemingly impervious to a steam-heated climate, came up triumphantly talking at each stop.

Goodies & Tie Clips. Promises that he and President Johnson would go over the heads of Congress to persuade Americans to give more help to Africa peppered the Vice President's public speeches and talks with African leaders.

The council would then permit political...
...listen to it hum. Bolted into a fragile frame of piping and Plexiglas, it generates 330 h.p., sounds like a Dixieland band, and last week propelled Scotland's Jimmy Clark, 31 (TIME cover, July 9, 1965), to a record average speed of 107 m.p.h. in the South African Grand Prix, his 25th Grand Prix victory-breaking the alltime career record set by Argentina's now-retired Juan Manuel Fangio...
