...England issued a newly designed ?5 note last week, tradition-minded Englishmen were horrified to find that the 1963 model Britannia looks more like Miss Blackpool than the dumpy dowager who has traditionally ruled the waves from the nation's coins and bank notes. Stripped of her Roman helmet and a good deal of her heft, the pert new Britannia has a becoming shoulder-length hairdo to replace the sausage curls she has worn since Victorian times, even sports a toga that looks as if it had been designed by Emilio Pucci rather than the Emperor Hadrian.

...ceremony at the Smithsonian Institution, Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr., presented his silvery space suit, boots, helmet, and the small American flag he carried on his historic triple orbit to the National Air Museum. He also noted his Friendship 7 capsule, already on display. "This is somewhat of a reunion." said Glenn in wry reference to the capsule's world tour and his own full schedule of public speeches.

At the start of a sudden-death overtime, Texan Captain Abner Haynes unthinkingly elected to kick off, and into the wind at that. But the Dallas defense held, and Tommy Brooker eventually ended the 77-min. marathon with a 25-yd. field goal...
...fused scrapper whose violent charge made him seem twice as big. "Vince never got above 182," recalls a Fordham teammate. "But when he hit you, it felt like 250." One day a brawny assistant coach caught Vince napping with a blind-side block that knocked him hip pads over helmet. "Try that again." Lombardi snarled-and sent the coach sprawling. Frank Leahy picked himself up. "O.K., kid." he said...
