...less conceded to other nations. Philadelphia Insurance Man Ira Davis bounced 53 ft. 11 in. to give the U.S. its first victory in the triple jump (hop, step and jump). For six years, New Mexico Science Teacher George Young has charged over hurdles and splashed through water in hopeless pursuit of the Soviets; this time he caught them for a richly deserved win in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. The U.S. has never produced a better man at 5,000 meters than Bob Schul of Ohio's Miami University; the Russians did not believe it -until he left them...
...Full Lock. It seemed hopeless. But now the Lotus was firing on all eight cylinders, and Clark was zinging flat out down the slippery track as if the championship depended on it, touching 155 m.p.h. on the straight. Power-sliding through one glassy corner in full opposite lock (with the front wheels turned against the direction of the turn), Clark nonchalantly flashed a thumb-up victory sign to a friend on the infield grass.

"All week long, I've been praying to St. Jude, the patron saint of hopeless causes," said Nichols, whose previous earnings on the tour this year amounted to $15,745. The victory was worth $18,000, plus another $22,500 in bonuses...
Still Not the Answer. Astonishingly, Dr. Brunschwig's "fiveyear cure rate" of 20% for these supposedly hopeless patients is just about the same as the survival rate for all patients after their first and much less drastic operation for cancer of other internal organs. But for all his encouraging results, Surgeon Brunschwig still does not feel that such surgery is the answer. Exenteration, he says, "is a brutal and cruel procedure." He looks forward to the day when researchers will put him out of business by discovering the drug that will kill cancer cells...
...people here feel that Senator Goldwater has the nomination wrapped up on the first ballot. Do you really feel that Governor Scranton has any chance at all of winning the nomination? Isn't this campaign just an exercise in futility now? Don't you feel that the cause is hopeless at this point? Aren't you just going through the motions...
