Union Power Play. Early in the week McDonald scored on his divide-and-conquer campaign in a friendly contract-signing session with Chairman Edgar Kaiser of California's Kaiser Steel Corp. (2% of steel capacity). Steelman Kaiser (see BUSINESS), refusing to stick with other operators through the injunction procedure, signed a 20-month union contract giving his 7,500 employees a yearly wage-and-fringe-benefit boost worth 11.25? an hour, only a quarter of a cent more than the last industry-wide offer.

TIME COVER SUBJECT MAKES GOOD. Thirty-five years ago, the handsome, cowlicked Yale crew "captain, James Stillman Rockefeller, smiled out from a TIME cover, his expression confident that the Olympic crew that he led would go forth, "the bronze-skinned ones, to conquer the oarsmen of the world, as warlike Menelaus led the bronze-greaved Argives against Troy of old."

Australia's great Murray Rose, 20, swam as a guest in the Japanese meets, beat Yamanaka three times and lost to him twice. And, at 17, Konrads still holds the bulk of the freestyle records, talks confidently of regaining the one that Yamanaka won away: "Next year I think I'll crack two minutes for the 200 meters, and I'll be aiming at 4:12 for the 400 meters." But the sudden emergence...
