Chet Jastremski, 20, son of a Toledo steel-mill worker, and a premedical student at Indiana University, became the first breaststroke swimmer ever to navi gate 100 yds. in less than a minute. His time: 59.6 sec., .5 sec. less than the remarkable 1:00.1 he clocked during a trial heat. A stocky, quiet A-student, Jastremski meets Coach James Counsil-man six mornings a week at 7 a.m., practices for an .hour, attends classes until 4 p.m., swims again until 6.

In this particular case the idea came first; in almost all others the image, the theme, and finally the title were dictated by the emerging pictures themselves...
...Horrid, the Domestic. Many of the drawings are rooted in time through subject and costume. But some are amazingly modern, such as the watercolor of a gate near a 17th century Roman villa that is so filled with blinding light that its details are seen as in an overexposed photograph. It is rustic yet somehow eerie, the perfect expression of Artist Salvator Rosa, who confessed himself in search of an "extravagant mixture of the horrid and of the domestic, of the plain and of the precipice," which artists centuries later are still seeking...
