...After warming up with an easy 1,500-meter freestyle victory at the A.A.U. national indoor swimming championships in New Haven, Australian Olympian Murray Rose, 18, felt so relaxed that he forgot to count the laps when he kicked off next night in the 22O-yd. grind. With only 20 yds. left to go, Murray, now a Southern California freshman, suddenly realized the race was almost over. He thrashed up to full speed, just managed to come up from third to touch out his countryman and collegemate, Jon Henricks. in a meet-record...

Cuban-born Desi has become not only half of TV's most popular comedy team, but the self-made boss of a company that produces, or takes a hand in producing, 27 TV shows.* This year on three different lots Desilu will grind out 270 hours of filmed television entertainment-more than twice the footage of any movie studio-rivaling TV's Revue Productions as the biggest film producer in the new Hollywood...

Tires get cooked on the baking concrete. Brakes take the worst beating...

Turn to Trouble. On the Malecón, the danger more familiar to Fangio began to haunt his fellow racers as they whirled into the long (315 miles) grind. Britain's Stirling Moss took the lead in a Ferrari, Missourian Masten Gregory, driving another Ferrari, was second. Fangio's Maserati, in Trintignant's hands, fell far back to 13th place.

...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. Less than an hour later, he jogged out for the grueling two-mile grind, found the wind for one more of his famous finishing kicks and won by 6 yds. Still scorning records and running simply to win. Ron scored his double victory for the second year in a row, took the team title for Villanova by just 2⅓ points over Manhattan. ¶Going...
