On this particular Sunday the catch was good-a basket of squirming silver carp-and Goto suggested a drink to celebrate. Reluctantly, Miyoshi declined. He was due on the foundry night shift. The two parted, never to see each other again. At 8:15 the next morning, Aug. 6, 1945, the atomic bomb exploded 1,870 ft. over Hiroshima...
After sailing for 57 days in a 40-ft. reed raft resembling a basket, Thor Heyerdahl and his seven-man international crew reached the Caribbean island of Barbados, 3,200 miles across the Atlantic from their point of departure on the Moroccan coast.

In a virtual replay of their ball-hawking heroics in the fifth game, the New Yorkers all but ran the Lakers off the court. Hobbled though he was, Reed continually muscled Chamberlain out of position; the tallest and strongest man in the game rarely had a clear shot. The Knicks' outside men hounded the Lakers to distraction. On offense, their whirling, quick-cutting weaves time and again sprang a man loose. With Guard Walt Frazier...

The meeting today will take place at 1 p. m. in the Faculty Club...
