...This is the strongest, most experienced team I have ever had," said Russian Coach Gavriil Korobkov, as he marched his athletes into Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Two days later, the strongest, most experienced flew home again-suffering from an acute dose of shellac. The U.S. men, who barely edged the Russians in 1963, trampled them this time by 139 to 97, winning 16 of 22 events, sweeping an incredible first and second in ten events, and capturing all twelve running races. The U.S. girls, who have always been blitzed by the Russians, won four of ten events, were actually leading...

They have already, last week on the floor of the House of Representatives, called this war on poverty a cruel hoax. I first heard that phrase in the 1936 campaign when they called social security a cruel hoax...
...America wrote $7,800,000 in premiums on aviation insurance in 1959, but lost money on the insurance because of a rash of air crashes that year. Other high-risk insurers paid off nearly $1,000,000 on the gas explosion under the stands at Indianapolis' State Fairgrounds Coliseum, and a host of companies are stuck with as much as $25 million in claims resulting from the bursting of California's Baldwin Hills dam last December...
