Superhighways worth $470 million had to be built over 58 miles of Tokyo to cut the traveling time along vital arteries to Haneda airport and the outlying Olympic sites. Bedrooms had to be built for part of the expected 30,000 visitors; dormitories had to be prepared for 7,000 athletes to sleep in, a pool for them to swim in, arenas for them to wrestle in, ranges for them to shoot on.

Wherever he went in Japan, Bob Kennedy made it plain that he spoke for the President of the U.S. Arriving at Tokyo's Haneda airport, Kennedy tried out two sentences in Japanese.

With this orange-jacketed contingent were 13 wives, a departed User's widow, two classmates' sons. Instead of traveling farthest to his class's 1956 reunion, Seaweed Osawa, Mohammed-like, had persuaded part of the reunion to come to him. He had sent invitations to more than...
Last month France's No. 1 soldier, Marshal Alphonse Juin, visited Korea, and paid particular attention to U.S. methods of training South Koreans. Last week General Mark Clark, U.N. Supreme Commander in the Far East, boarded his Constellation at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, and took off for Indo-China...
