Weightman Ed Nosal scored victories in three events. He won the hammer throw with a 160'6" fling, the shot put with a 47'9 1/4" toss, and the discus with a 152' effort...
...MARTY FLECKMAN, 23, 5 ft. 10 in., 175 Ibs. Last June, as an unheralded amateur, Fleckman led the U.S. Open after 54 holes-only to collapse with a last-round 80.

...Lover Amaz (Shashi Kapoor) fits Hayley out with contact lenses and a hairdo piled up like frozen custard. But she has seen enough movies to know that Amaz Can Never Make Her Happy. So it's back to England and some bank clerk of a husband-with a fling in Hong Kong first on the proceeds from selling Auntie's jewelry...
