...Russia's Igor Ter-Ovanesyan, 26: the broad jump at the Golden Gate Invitational track meet, beating the U.S.'s Ralph Boston in the rubber match of their winter duel; at San Francisco. In two previous meets, each had won once, and the total margin between them was ¼ in. This time Ter-Ovanesyan leaped 26 ft. 4 in., beat Boston...

The noise roused the sleeping Americans, saved many from certain death had the Viet Cong slipped inside. As it was, the attack force riddled Pyle-the eighth American...
...ordinarily start to break up. The tables in the State Dining Room and the nearby Blue Room featured strictly Democratic chinaware: the Truman dishes in the dining room, the Wilson and Roosevelt dishes in the Blue Room. The menu honored the principal guests: the seafood was a la Golden Gate for California's Warren; the chicken was a la Bay State for Massachusetts' McCormack; for Humphrey there was wild rice from Minnesota...
