...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. "The four-minute mile won't be exclusive any more," said Bailey. "There'll be guys all over the world who knew what I did before [his best previous time: 4:05.6] and saw what I did today...
...unhealthy places for farmers. Reports presented to the Wisconsin Trudeau Society indicate two diseases-"farmer's lung" and "silo filler's disease"-can have a crippling effect on farm workers. Farmer's lung is a reaction to grain dust, producing chills, nausea and shortness of breath. It has forced a number of Wisconsin farmers to give up farming. Silo filler's disease is potentially more dangerous. Caused by exposure to nitrogen dioxide from fresh silage, the ailment has killed several farm hands in the Wisconsin-Minnesota area...
...played two Bach cantatas. The first was a solo cantata for baritone, strings, oboe, and continue, Ich hab genug (No. 82.).

The chorus, numbering only twelve, was well trained by Edward Lloyd, and bass soloist Thomas Beveridge sang with feeling. The soprano soloist was Sara-Jane Smith, who added one more concert to her list...
...leading candidates for the Democratic nomination paused in mid-campaign last week, drew solemn breath, and issued full-dress declarations on U.S. foreign policy. Adlai Stevenson, avoiding the quip, charged that the U.S. has "come dangerously close to losing, if indeed it has not lost, its leadership in the world." Estes Kefauver, avoiding the homily, charged that the Eisenhower Administration "has no faith in peace and no hope of achieving it in its time." Both men offered to correct the situation...
...search for self-respect and truth, the young hero, Hugo, leaves his father's house and joins the Communists of his Nazi-occupied country. "Here I met men who didn't lie...I could breath." But even within the party there is a liar--Hoederer, their leader, intends to join conservative groups in an anti-Nazi coalition. To save Party purity and to take the step which would prove himself, Daniel accepts an assignment from Hoederer's opponents within the Party to assasinate the leader...
