...spent to renovate and erect sports facilities, as well as an Olympic Village replete with trees and ornamental shrubs. In the Olympic Cafeteria, 150 separate menus will provide 520,000 lunches, suppers and breakfasts of champions. Dominating the Olympic Tokyo is Architect Kenzo Tange's shell-shaped National Gymnasium complex, where swimmers and basketball players will vie, while the first judo competition in Olympic history will be conducted beneath the bat-winged roof of the Budokan Hall. Last week teams from 96 nations were forming for the Tokyo Games, and sports buffs the world over prepared to descend...
...have now decided to expand on our own campus, to have four semi-independent high schools. We maintain you can have four high schools on one campus, just as well as if they were in different parts of town."

Now the kids were committed to vote as nearly like the actual delegation as possible-so much so that many mock delegations got a stream of telephoned instructions from real politicians throughout the convention. Beside that, tough-minded and thoroughly grown-up G.O.P. professionals backing Rockefeller, Goldwater...
...voting, the Washington and Lee delegates nominated Barry Goldwater on the second ballot, named Pennsylvania's Governor Scranton his running mate. Through it all, Barry stayed near a phone in Washington, was plugged into the gymnasium public-address system minutes after he won and said solemnly, "I accept with great humility. I hope and pray it is a good omen for July and November...
