...over the 8.3-mile circuit southwest of Paris. The much-touted duel between Ferrari and Ford turned out to be a bust when none of the three new Ford racers-first team entry by a major U.S. manufacturer at Le Mans since 1928-managed to finish. California's Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant saved a scrap of prestige for the U.S., placing fourth overall and winning the grand-touring championship in a Ford-powered A. C. Cobra. But Ferraris finished one-two-three, giving old Enzo Ferrari a record fifth straight Le Mans victory. >Santa Claus...
...Dan Fraad (rhymes with Claude) steadfastly denies the charges of overcharges. All his 3,885 workers at the Fair are paid the union-labor rates prevailing in New York, where costs might seem a bit steep to a foreigner or out-of-towner (sample: $93.40 a week for a porter). The only extraordinary charge is an 18% "idle-time fee" that Allied tacks on to the regular charges for its pool of 66 carpenters, mechanics and ironworkers who make hurry-up, emergency repairs.

...trouble, and he had to trade it in on a 1963 model that was geared too low for the ultrafast Spa Franchorchamps course. So there he was, a few laps from the end, touring unhappily around in fourth place. Out front in a Brabham-Climax, the U.S.'s Dan Gurney was burning up the track, leading Britain's Graham Hill and New Zealand's Bruce McLaren by 40 sec., and Clark by 90 sec. Play safe? Not Gurney...
...Yankees, is a chubby and badly drawn bruin who looked reasonably ursine on TV but on the giant screen resembles an enormous and rather soggy cinnamon cookie. He lives in Jellystone National Park but talks like a bear from the Bronx Zoo. "Duh," he announces, "I'm smahtuh dan de avidge bayuh." To prove it he assembles a battalion of "trained picnic ants" and sends them to steal chocolate cakes from tourists. Then he runs off to rescue a nifty little beige bear named Cindy from the clutches of the Chizzling Brothers, who-oh, heck, who cares? Certainly...
