...Scotland's Jimmy Clark, 28: the British and European Grand Prix with a record average 94.14 m.p.h. over the twisting 80-lap, 212-mi. course at Brands Hatch, England. In his green factory Lotus, Clark spurted into the lead at the start, was never headed and took the checkered flag just 2.8 sec. ahead of fellow Briton Graham Hill in a thrilling dice that saw the two zipping around nose to tailpipe for most of the race. The win, Clark's third in five Grands Prix so far, gave last year's world champion a total...
Horses are the victims of a botfly that lays its eggs on their legs, and sheep are the prey of another kind of botfly that lays its eggs in their noses. The eggs hatch into maggots which mature in the animals' bodies causing severe illness and sometimes death. So far, the U.S. has been spared the activities of yet another botfly, still more repulsive, that makes man its unwilling and miserable host. But in this week's A.M.A. Journal, a Florida doctor reports that the U.S. has just had a narrow escape from being colonized by the unpleasant...
...would have turned into half-inch flies resembling bluebottles, with yellow heads and blue-grey bodies. The human botfly does not bite or lay its eggs on people, but enslaves smaller flies and mosquitoes by gluing its eggs to their bodies.

And, says Dr. Kaye, two of them might have been enough to start a general infestation of the U.S. with another painful pest...
...predawn gloom at Leopold ville's Ndjili Airport, the DC-8 jetliner whined to a halt on the hardstand. Almost coyly, it poked its nose between a pair of aircraft chartered to ferry the last United Nations soldiers away from the Congo. From the hatch of the first-class compartment stepped a tall, plump man in a severe black suit, grinning like an African Fernandel. Burly, rifle-swinging Congolese cops and nervous Surete plainclothesmen hustled him into a black Chevy Impala with government plates, and off he sped into the flower-and sewage-scented dark. Thus last week with...
Fearful that the wreckage would burst into flames, Bayh hurriedly boosted his wife through an escape hatch, which popped open on impact. Then he called for Teddy, who was crumpled on the floor. Bayh got no answer and climbed out the hatch himself. Again, he yelled to Teddy. This time Kennedy answered, managed to reach his hand through the hatch, and Bayh helped him wriggle through the window. Moss and Pilot Zimny-both horribly injured-were trapped in the cockpit, which had been sliced apart as if by a huge can opener...
