...last week Hucklebuck Logan arose at 5 a.m., bussed to Baltimore's grimy city hall. When the offices opened at 8:30 he signed up as the U.S.'s first volunteer for Poverty Czar Sargent Shriver's brand-new Job Corps. Behind Hucklebuck, to the delight of Job Corps officials who had feared that the corps' first recruiting campaign would draw an embarrassingly puny turnout, came well over 400 more kids from Baltimore. Almost all were school dropouts, few had steady jobs, and about one-third had had trouble with the police...

In the Southern Cal dressing room, Coach John McKay tried to buoy up his downhearted Trojans: "If we can score the first time we get the ball in the second half, it's a brand-new ball game."

Only a fraction of the crowd is made up of racing fans, and as one old man said of the event, "It would be great if it weren't for those cyclists...
...Niarchos wants out, he is not selling cheap. The asking price for the fleet and all its contracts is about $260 million, or $100 per deadweight ton. Brokers complain that the price is outrageous, since brand-new ships can be built in Japan for that much or less and at least 15 of the Niarchos ships are considered out of date. Not included in the offer are the prospering Niarchos shipyards near Piraeus or any of his other worldwide investments in oil refineries and aluminum...
