Mountain Retreat. Suntanned and crewcut, Maytag is a trim (175 Ibs.) six-footer with a calm, modulated voice and a quiet, determined air. He often works Saturdays, hates to give speeches (though he does), devotes most of his time to financial matters. A keen sportsman, he leaves his beachside house near Miami whenever possible for a 160-acre mountain retreat in Wyoming, where he is usually joined by his second wife and five children (four of them from her previous marriage; Maytag's first wife has the three children from the first Maytag marriage). A self-styled "free enterpriser...
...crewcut, greying man of 60, Ainsworth has a withered right arm and leg, and can use his left arm only from the wrist down as a result of childhood polio. He finished high school in Waco, Texas, in a wheelchair, but set out soon afterward for San Francisco to cover the 1920 Democratic National Convention, at space rates, for the local News Tribune. As it happened, the Democrats merited precious little space for nominating James M. Cox. "I got about $3," recalls Ainsworth.

B.Y.U. now belongs to the new Western Athletic Conference, and with only three victories in nine games, it is still the weakling of its league.

...most important thing," says Pole Vaulter John Uelses, 24, "is having the crowd with you.'' Last year at the Millrose Games the crowd had hardly noticed the crewcut Marine corporal. This time he heaved himself aloft on his new fiberglass pole with neat precision-and the crowd was with him all the way. When the pole unbent to give him a final boost, Uelses became the first man ever to vault 16 ft. He had cleared the bar at 16 ft. ¾ in. (Next night in Boston he beat his own record, went over...
...Horse, about a gentle soft-spoken greeting-card poet named Erwin Trowbridge, who has an infallible talent for doping out horse-race winners. As the Poet Trowbridge, George Gobel should have been a natural. Instead, the only thing that stands up in his performance is his crewcut. He is so meek, mild, and mousy as to seem spiritless. Composer Jay Livingston and Lyricist Ray Evans have concocted some tender little lullabies for him to croon, but Gobel's singing voice scarcely carries the length of a baby's crib. Gobel is a comic miniaturist, and a Broadway stage...
