...vapor passed first over the shantytowns of Jaiprakash and Chhola, just outside the walls of the plant, leaving hundreds dead as they slept. The gas quickly enveloped the city's railway station, where beggars were huddled against the chill. In minutes, a score had died and 200 others were gravely ill. Through temples and shops, over streets and lakes, across a 25-sq.-mi. quadrant of the city, the cloud continued to spread, noiselessly and lethally. The night air was fairly cool (about 60° F), the wind was almost calm, and a heavy mist clung to the earth; those conditions...
...when the coming day seems to hesitate between darkness and dawn. Suddenly a torrent of fire from an exploding gas tank surged more than 300 ft. into the sky over the Mexico City suburb of San Juan Ixhuatepec, splashing it with hellish waves of orange, yellow, red, black.

The lucky ones had a branch to cover their dugout; others remained exposed to the elements. As soon as a foreign visitor appeared, the emaciated people took him for a doctor, crowded around and clutched at his trousers and clung to his legs, pleading for help. Half crazy...
...sixth Olympian, just a silver medalist, was hired to warm up the deep chill of the Garden, though scarcely anyone had arrived last week before 171-lb. Virgil Hill dispatched Arthur Wright in the second round. Wright trained as hard as he could, from the moment the match was arranged the day before. Last summer two North Dakota towns, Williston and Grand Forks, threw parades for Hill, 20. Nobody is fighting over him now. "I'm training out of L.A., without a manager yet," he explained in a dim dressing room, though the comparative worth of gold and silver...
