...such speed, even a gust of wind can spell disaster-as two-time 500 Winner A. J. Foyt discovered last week when his Ford-powered Sheraton-Thompson Coyote was blown into the outer retaining wall at 162 m.p.h. The car was totally demolished, but Foyt was unhurt. Chuck Rodee was not so lucky. Rodee already had gunned his 500-h.p. rear-engine Offenhauser through one practice lap at 159.9 m.p.h.; now he was trying to top that. Drifting through the speedway's No. 1 turn, he was suddenly blinded by a bit of rag or paper that blew into...

Backed by a 17-piece orchestra, he sang about humpback mules, lonesome hearts and them old cottonfields back home in a mellifluous baritone that...
...worthwhile affirmations at the festival. Vanessa Redgrave was voted best actress for her performance in Morgan! (see following story). But then, most of the critics agreed with only half of the judges' first-prize choice -Un Homme et Une Femme, a love story with a car-racing background (TIME, May 20.) What disturbed the critics was that the judges decided to split the top award with another film, Signore e Signori, yet another view of middle-class Italian mores by Pietro Germi (Divorce-Italian Style); nor did many viewers agree with the selection of the British Alfie, starring Michael...
