Encouraged by a two-point advantage gained from a blocked punt in the Puritan end zone, the Deacon offense suddenly woke up to score twice in the last period on a long run around their own right end by senior quarterback John Sears and an off-tackle plunge by Chris Norris set up by a 30-yard pass from Scotty Johnson to Larry Brown...
...freckled 15-year-old blonde gripped the starting block with her toes, inhaled deeply, and hit the water at the gun with long, smooth strokes. When she flashed home last week in 4:55.9 for the 400 meters, Chris von Saltza of Saratoga, Calif, had broken her U.S. record by 2.2 sec., neatly finished the job of turning Chicago's Pan-American Games into a one-girl swim. In all, Chris carried off five gold medals: she won the 100, 200 and 400 meters, was a member of the winning team in the 400-meter freestyle relay...
...make her 400-meter victory even sweeter, Chris beat her great home-state rival, Berkeley's husky, 17-year-old Sylvia Ruuska (TIME, Mar. 9) by a full 7.5 sec., established herself as the most promising U.S. freestyler in years.

Bundeswehr artillery fired a 21-gun salute; a band played The Star-Spangled Banner and Deutschlandlied. Old Chancellar Konrad Adenauer, erect and brisk, stepped forward to greet the President, hailed the U.S. as "the standard-bearer of freedom." The President replied: "The name Adenauer has come to symbolize the determination...
...brains flying like butterflies, let them approach the shores of the Dominican Republic," warned Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. A pair of Cuba-based rebel invasion forces-one of 63 men arriving by C46 at the mountain-ringed, mid-island town of Constanza, and another of 150 aboard two Chris-Craft launches that landed near Puerto Plata on the north coast-put the strongman's boast to the test of arms. Last week, both by government and rebel account, Trujillo proved that he meant what he said...
