...stirring comeback for a record-breaking victory. Returning to competition after a three-month layoff, Hardin tripped and fell on the second corner, losing thirty yards to the leaders and falling back to last place. He gradually threaded his way through the field and moved into second place position behind M.I.T.'s Ben Wilson with seven laps to go. Then, with the crowd on its feet, Hardin blasted away from the bespectacled Engineer with a lap and a half remaining, covering the final 440 in 61 seconds and crossing the line with a thirty-yard lead in a time...
...three of Irvings' bouts were spectacular come from behind wins. All three were 5-4 wins.

Sometimes talented Thugs would play the sitar and coax their victims into singing, the better to expose their throats for throttling...
...Nixon's behind-the-scenes action in his administration's first domestic crisis has measurably dampened hopes for a swing away from conservative campaign stands. Although the administration's final policy on Southern segregation is still hard to predict, the skirmishes and furor of the last two weeks suggest that Nixon's policy will be a step backwards from Lyndon Johnson's hard-line stand...
