...Zealander and a Frenchman-and last week France's Michel Jazy found himself confronted with two new challengers who could hardly be more dissimilar. In Wanganui, New Zealand, East Germany's Jurgen May beat Kenya's Kipchoge Keino by a bare .3 sec. in the second fastest mile ever run: 3 min. 53.8 sec., just .2 sec. off the still unrecognized record that Jazy set last June...
After the first event, the 400-yard medley relay, Coach Bill Brooks must have known it would be a long afternoon. Captain Bruce Fowler glided through the fastest 100-yard breaststroke of his life in 1:01.1 and butterflyer Neville Hayes churned through his leg in a surprising 54.1 seconds, but the Crimson blew their lead anyway on the last leg.

Arthur Carlsberg, 32, of Los Angeles, has earned $5,000,000 in the business in which fortunes have traditionally been made fastest: real estate. He is chairman of Rammco Investment Corp., a Southern California land-investment firm that has shown a canny ability to pick farmland plots that later boom into building sites. Exuberant demand for choice land-which has helped send the price of housing sites in the U.S. up 15% annually during the 1960s-enables a land speculator to multiply his money in a hurry...
