Such competition set even the Romans to doing as the non-Roman tourists did: they shrugged off the heat, plunged into gloriously chaotic traffic jams and struggled out to see the greatest show in sports. For a close-up view of the athletes, Romans lined an elevated highway that passed Olympic Village and peered at the girls through binoculars. Cracked California's 800-meter runner. Pat Daniels: "I feel like a monkey in a cage." One rubbernecker made it past frantic Italian guards at the gate of the men's quarters by simply stripping to his shorts...
...glint in his pale blue eyes, the U.N.'s Dag Hammarskjold last week went on the offensive against Congolese Premier Patrice Lumumba. And well he might. The Congo's army was acting on its irresponsible own, the Congo's economy was stagnating, and its capital city chaotic and littered with trash. In such an hour, when he needed all the help he could get and his country needed all the stability it could muster, Lumumba jumped up and down in an insensate feud with the U.N.

As if all this were not enough, the Congo's finances were chaotic; $230 million in capital escaped the country before exchange controls were imposed, leaving scarcely enough in currency reserves to back the Congo franc...
...showmanship, Brooklyn-born Milton Katims. 50, is a solidly gifted musician who has given Seattle the best orchestra in its somewhat chaotic music history. A first-rate violist. Katims played in the NBC Symphony under Toscanini for ii years, and studied the Toscanini technique. In rehearsal he is still given to shouting Arturo-isms: "Dream with me!" and "Make it barbaric!" The Dustman. When Katims arrived in Seattle in 1954, the city was still trying to forget its last permanent conductor, France's Manuel Rosenthal, who was for bidden re-entry to the U.S. in 1951 for perjuring himself...
