Thomas Nagel, assistant professor of Philosophy at Princeton and holder of a Harvard Ph.D., has collected 185 of the 200 alumni signatures necessary to have Mailer on the ballot. Norr already has enough signatures, most of which he collected at his graduation where he was Class Orator...
...this youthful office-holder? The assassinated President stated that he was the best politician in the family. And it is apparent to anyone who glances at the records accumulated in the marble corridors of the Senate that John was not wrong; the youngest brother is a profound and capable politician. He accommodates; he cajoles; he forces progress; he has the best assets of a great operative in the legislative...
Toomey modestly insists that "behind every good decathlon man there's a good doctor," and indeed the demands of the brutal competition are enough to strain the strongest body. Kurt Bendlin, West Germany's world record holder, arrived in Mexico City complaining of two sore knees and tendonitis in one elbow. Toomey had a pulled hip muscle for which he was being treated with cortisone. Even so, in the first test, the 100-meter dash, Toomey hit the tape in 10.4 sec., best time of the day and good enough for 959 points under the complicated decathlon scoring...

Kansas' Jim Ryun, the 1,500-meter world record holder, could only moan, "My God, how it hurts," after losing to Kipchoge Keino, who ran it in 3 min. 34.9 sec.-second fastest time ever recorded for the metric mile. The thin air may have been a boon to Oregon's Dick Fosbury, whose unorthodox, over-the-bar-backwards...
...Wenden surprised everyone by splashing to victory in both the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints. And Felipe Munoz, an unsung, 17-year-old prep-schooler from Mexico City, gave the host nation its first gold medal of the Games when he edged out Russia's world record holder, Vladimir Kosinsky, in the 200-meter breaststroke. Yet Debbie Meyer, a 16-year-old from Sacramento, Calif., singlehandedly balanced out those losses by winning the women's 200-meter, 400-meter and 800-meter freestyles, despite a strained ankle and a bad case of the notorious turistas that almost...
