...Charlie Messenger won the individual title by lopping nearly nine seconds off the old record, set last year by Georgetown's Eamon O'Reilly. Messenger's time of 24:15.6 over the hilly five-mile course put him well in front of Michigan State's Dick Sharkey, who also broke the old mark...
...enemy's plans for a major monsoon offensive in the Central Highlands last summer were aborted by such U.S. spoiling operations as Paul Revere and Hawthorne.

...governor, during eight years in office, has been involved in a string of sour incidents. His political record is marred by two scandals with the State Liquor Authority, one in 1962-63 and the other which just broke last week; his divorce and remarriage; his crumpled presidential dreams; his veto of the $1.50 minimum wage bill last year; his absurd fall-out shelter campaign; and, of course, his broken promise not to raise taxes...
