...race of his life when the pace suddenly hit him. He staggered like a sidewalk drunk, feet reaching blindly, body jerking from side to side, arms flopping in grotesque rhythm. For three laps, he kept on, then fell. Before anyone could reach him, he was up again, shambling forward, dazed. He fell again, and was carried from the field on a stretcher.

As the royal couple acknowledged greetings from a welcoming party of seven Midwestern Governors and 40 mayors, pressing throngs surged forward, fairly overran the 2,000 city police who were assigned to guard the Queen. "That's a lovely billy-I'd like to borrow it some time," cracked Prince Philip to a Chicago cop as he eyed the yelling people. "Hi, Liz!" they cried. "Hey, Queen!" That night at a glittering dinner...
Last week, racing on the springy new track at Zurich as a member of Cologne's A.S.V. track club, Lauer was first out of the blocks in the 110-meter high hurdles. Bending far forward as he cleared the barriers, then snapping his body erect as he hit the cinders, Grasshopper Lauer was all alone at the tape, gasped in astonishment : "It was like having hold of a truck...
