...endorsement of Goldwater, though distasteful, is perhaps understandable from a leader of the state party. It is, in any case, a perfunctory endorsement, and Volpe readily repudiates the Senator's positions on civil rights, labor-management relations, nuclear responsibility, and most other issues. He fought diligently to deny Gold-water the nomination this year, and if elected, Volpe will do the same with better effect...
...around. No fewer than 28 nations had something shiny to be proud of. "I couldn't go home without a medal," panted Cuba's Enrique Figuerola, who ran the race of his life to finish second behind Bob Hayes in the 100-meter dash. Japan swept three gold medals in Western-style wrestling. Rumania's leggy Iolanda Balas broke her own Olympic high-jumps record by 2½ in., soaring 6 ft. 2¾ in., and Kenya's Wilson Kiprugut won his new country's first Olympic medal when he placed third...
...Three. There was talk that the U.S. might take every gold medal in the men's events. Three Australians -Ian O'Brien in the 200-meter breaststroke, Bob Windle in the 1,500-meter freestyle and Kevin Berry in the 200-meter butterfly-ended that discussion.

Nobody was more shocked than New Jersey's Lesley Bush, 17, when she somersaulted to a gold medal from the 10-meter platform -except maybe Germany's Ingrid Kramer, who won the high dive in 1960 and was supposed to repeat. California's Donna de Varona, 17, led a one-two-three sweep of the women's 400-meter individual medley, and Cathy Ferguson, 16, set a new world record in the 100-meter backstroke. Of course, there was nothing anyone could do to stop Australia's ageless Dawn Fraser, 27, from...
...loner living in Germany, a tall Brazilian, Almir de Silva Mavignier, 39, is the prototype op artist (lower right). He works slowly, sells for little, and does not care for fame. "Think about the anonymous craftsmen who built that," he said recently, peering from behind gold-rimmed spectacles at the Ulm cathedral. "They have been depersonalized, yet might have died with satisfaction that they helped create something still pulsating 500 years later." His works, dotted with neat cones of oil, are uniformly produced in permutations of the spectrum: a painstaking topography that seems to prick the retina...
