Your Feb. 24 Art section is masterful in every sense. The layout and the black-and-white reproductions are the best I've seen, and the color photos of Japanese gardens are superb. I was swept with sentimentality when I saw the reproduction of the moss garden of Kyoto's Saihoji monastery. While stationed at Johnson Air Base, near Tokyo, I used to know a patch of wood that resembled this garden. G.I.s living in my barracks walked through it to reach the service club. On the rainy, magic-like mornings of spring and summer, the spot...
...From the moment he entered Madison Square Garden for the I.C. 4-A. championships, Villanova's great miler. Ron Delany, 22, never seemed to stop running, though he never got around to running the mile. He had to run a qualifying heat for the 1,000-yd. title, then in the race itself made a gut-wrenching rush in the last two laps to win.

When the big winter track meets bring some of the best milers in the world to the tight-banked boards of Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, it is quite a trick just to find running room. Spikes slice close to bare shanks in the opening sprint for the pole; elbows have a habit of splaying wide when the pack gangs up on a turn. And when the pack contains men like Hungary's crack Istvan...
Playwright Tennessee Williams, 43, whose work surges with all manner of violence, from rape (A Streetcar Named Desire) to homosexualism and cannibalism (Garden District), last week took Associated Press Columnist Hal Boyle on a tour of the Williams psyche, on which a psychoanalyst is at work five times a week at $50 an hour. Observed Playwright Williams: "I find it immensely stimulating...
