Incredibly, Landy made the same mistake he made two summers ago in Vancouver, B.C., when he lost the British Empire Games' Miracle Mile to Dr. Roger Bannister. He looked back over his shoulder. Bailey shot past on the outside, picked up a yard lead, and hung on to it till the finish...
...didn't think I had a faster-than-four-minute mile in me," said Bailey, when he caught his breath. But he had. His time was 3:58.6, the first under-four-minute mile run in the U.S. A long pace back, John Landy was clocked in 3:58.7. Irish Ron Delany finished third in a creditable 4:05.5.

Later, "much the same panegyrics attended the spread of the shock gospel as had attended the spread of lobotomy and -in a previous generation...
Quietly Dropped. Neurologist Bailey used his sharpest scalpels on Sometime Neurologist Freud: "His ideas were often launched with great enthusiasm, like scare headlines in a newspaper, and then quietly dropped without retraction . . . Many of Freud's psychological writings are not scientific treatises, but rather, reveries-a sort of chirographic rumination...
