Touchette also brought another member into the band--his young son, who until recently was employed sitting on top of the big bass drum wielding a mammoth beater. The days of socking the huge instrument are almost over, however; the gargantuan hides are in soggy condition, and the entire frame needs overhauling. Estimates of the drum's value have varied. "When I was a freshman," says Novick, "it was worth $6000. The next year they sat $7000. Last year it went up another thousand. Actually, it's closer to $2000, but even then we have to find a cow with...
...second place behind a surprisingly well-balanced squad from England. A solid third: Canada. But there was high hope in Aussie hearts. Their collective failure could be wiped out in the biggest event of the games: the "Mile of the Century." Long John Landy, their world's-record beater (3:58) was primed to run the race of his life...
...Writes Hecht nostalgically of those days: "That was happiness." The weakness of Hecht's armor was that it left him in sketchy underwear whenever he took it off.

It's still about Mr. Peepers, and he's still a science teacher, and he'll still have all the same troubles with students and doormen and whatever. He's just got married, that's all. Lots of men do that...
...such sharpshooter is debonair Kurt Bader, 36, an ingenious German whose flair for showmanship unhappily surpasses his marksmanship. With his wife Hildegard, Kurt billed his show as "Aal Cherry & Mac Zero, the World-Famous Sharpshooting Act." His act involved a machine like an egg beater, across which pretty little Mac, arrayed in shorts and bra, could be tastefully spread-eagled and rotated as a "human windmill." Last week, after putting their two daughters to bed in a hotel room nearby, Aal & Mac went into their act at Cologne's Kaiserhof Theater. Their eleven-year-old son Hubert strapped...
