Massachusetts' youthful Jack Kennedy, still the fustest-and fastest-running Democrat, busied himself flushing delegates' votes in the canebrakes of Louisiana, went north to work his way through Wisconsin and Illinois, and headed toward heavy speaking dates in California two weeks hence. Missouri's Stuart Symington was marching through Georgia, booked solidly ahead for shooting matches from Massachusetts to Florida over the next weeks. Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey scored an unexpected bull's-eye with the United Auto Workers in Atlantic City, pushed on to Denver. In Dallas, House Speaker Sam Rayburn, who customarily presides...
...Next day an Army solid-fuel Nike-Zeus anti-missile missile streaked across the skies above White Sands Proving Ground, N. Mex. Among the nation's warbirds, it is the most powerful (up to 500,000 lbs. thrust v. 400,000 Ibs. for the Atlas) and the fastest (more than 17,000 m.p.h.). At those speeds the Zeus encounters enormous heat and stress, and it broke up on its maiden flight in August. Last week's Zeus fell a bit short of its planned 100-mile course, but showed that the frame and propulsion system are basically solid...
Last year's star at left wing, Langi Kavaliku from Tonga, has returned, and with Charlie Rowe gives the Crimson one of the fastest pair of wings in the Eastern Rugby League. At the center positions, the starting slots are still undecided, but coach Dick O'Neil has much to work with...
Against the small Crimson forwards, Williams' size advantage could be important. But the starting line that coach Bruce Munro has called "perhaps the fastest in college soccer" should be able to handle the Ephs. Tadgh Sweeney, who turned in the finest performance of his short career Saturday against Cornell, will start at wing, along with John McIntosh. John Mudd, Saturday's scoring hero, and John Hedreen will open at inside, with carry Ekpebu and Keith Lowe alternating at center. Bruce Johnstone, though not a starter, has become a key man in the Crimson attack, and will see considerable service today...
From 32,000 to 625,000. In 20 years, 50-year-old Barney Kilgore has presided over the transformation of the Wall Street Journal from a Depression echo of Wall Street to the fastest-moving daily in the U.S. Since 1940, circulation has grown 19-fold, from 32,000 to 625,000, ranking the Journal among the top ten U.S. dailies. The country's only real contender for the title of national daily, the Journal is printed simultaneously in New York, Chicago, Washington, San Francisco and Dallas; beginning next year it will be printed near Springfield, Mass...
