...California three years ago, go karting has grown into a coast-to-coast sport and attracted something like 100,000 lead-footed devotees from six to 60. This year, say the addicts, another 100,000 will go kart crazy. New clubs are springing up at a one-a-day clip, and in California, a town of 5,000 can draw 10,000 visitors for a race. This week Westbury, L.I. will inaugurate a track for the tiny racers, one of 3,500 around the U.S. Nor is the U.S. alone in the sport; go karting is growing at full throttle...
...Call-Bulletin with Scripps-Howard's News, characteristically retaining control only of the account books.

Riding with Frondizi at a fast clip down the stately Avenue St. Martin, he insisted that the automobiles slow down, and objected when the crowd thickened and his escorts, a mounted troop of grenadiers dressed in Napoleonic uniforms, moved their horses around his car for protection. Waving the guardsmen aside, Ike greeted the dense crowds with a grin, and got a roar of welcome in return-a remarkable salute from the usually reserved Argentine public. The subdued chant of "Peron!
