Coxed by a 46-year old Hungarian refugee and comprised of strong and experienced ex-collegiate oarsmen (average age: 26, average size: 6' 21/2" and 195 lbs.), Vesper overcame an early lead by Harvard, sustained its speed against the consistent Crimson challenge, and surged across the finish line in 6 minutes 1.3 seconds...
...pavement, and dust begins to rise. Comes the dawn. Trucks rumble up loaded with thick lengths of timber. Racing against the clock, the workmen literally pave the torn-up street with the square logs-just in time to let the morning torrent of traffic flood through. Can Tokyo possibly finish the building job by October? There have been doubters. Workmen are still scrambling all over the swooping, tent-shaped roof of the vast Olympic swimming pool and the upward-spiraling conch-shell roof of the Olympic basketball court. A fleet of five truck-trailer, mobile public rest rooms is still...

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.
