Giant Stalin. The week's most dramatic event, the fall of Antonin No votny, followed a country-wide clamor for his resignation. At noisy meetings throughout Czechoslovakia, Novotny was denounced and taunted. In Slova kia, portraits of him were burned. Pe titions for his dismissal poured into Prague. Seeing that he was through, many of Novotny's old friends, including the army general staff, joined the chorus against him. Novotny closed himself off in Hradcany Castle on a hill overlooking Prague, hoping that the storm would blow over. When a news paper suggested that illness might give...
...long jump has been the exclusive bag of two men for so long that the event could have been called "The Ralph & Igor Show." Between them since 1960, the U.S.'s Ralph Boston, 28, and Russia's Igor Ter-Ovanesyan, 29, have broken and rebroken the world indoor and outdoor records eleven times, won four Olympic medals and dominated every meet they entered.

...next shocker and the meet clincher came in the 200-yard breaststroke. Harvard's sophomore star Bill Chadsey ranked a clear favorite to beat Yale's Jerry Yurow, but the Harvard backup men were, as usual, inadequate. Harvard had to sweep the event. The score stood at Harvard 40 Yale 39 going into the breaststroke with only the freestyle relay to go. The relay was Yale's as the exhausted Crimson freestylers could do no more. Only eight points--a first and a second in the breaststroke--could have the meet...
...mind went back to a class in semantic analysis earlier that week. "How is an event more complex than a structure?" "An event is more complex than a structure because an event is composed of a structure changing in time. Structures are static and three-dimensional, whereas events are dynamic and four dimensional...
