...completely bewildered when confronted by the statements of Mrs. E. W. Einhellig ". . . Ike is one of the poorest excuses for a President we ever had. Our (U.S.) prestige has never been lower [July 16]." Had Mrs. Einhellig seen, as I did, the shock and apprehension that blanketed Copenhagen, Denmark when Mr. Eisenhower was stricken, she would have realized that true prestige, of a country or a man, is not created by a bellicose attitude or a palm full of silver...
...Park swam shoulder to shoulder around Absecon Island (N.J.), fighting for first place in Atlantic City's 26-mile saltwater marathon. They churned to the finish line like sprinters, but as Lumsden touched out Tom Park, the fickle crowd was looking elsewhere. Just ahead of the two men, Denmark's beautiful Greta Anderson, 29, first of the women competitors (who started half an hour before the men) was struggling back into the top of her bathing suit so that she could leave the water. Patient fans even waited for sixth-place Muriel Ferguson, 19, and platinum-haired Greta...
Iceland's agitation against the U.S. base comes from a people who have had their independence from Denmark for only twelve years, have no army of their own and dislike having foreign troops around.

Elegant Budge Patty, 1950 champion and seeded fourth, was ousted by Britain's hard-hitting but erratic 20-year-old Bobby Wilson. Luis Ayala of Chile downed Denmark's high-spirited Kurt Nielsen, who reached the finals in 1955. Althea Gibson, the American Negro, arrived safely in the quarterfinals, along with fellow Americans Beverly Baker Fleitz, Shirley Fry, and Defending Champion Louise Brough...
...After eating the dust of John Landy and Jim Bailey while those two Aussies ran better-than-four-minute miles last month, Ireland's Ron Delany developed a taste for speed himself. Carefully pacing himself on the fast track at Compton, Calif., the Villanova sophomore kicked past Denmark's Gunnar Nielsen in the stretch and clocked a neat 3:59 flat. He had it all timed so nicely that he pulled Nielsen past the four-minute barrier with him. Nielsen's time: 3:59.1. ¶ Bulge-upholstered Paul Anderson, the 325-lb. strongman from Toccoa, Ga., played...
