With that, the state rested. The defense took 1 hr. 40 min. to present its case, which consisted chiefly of unsworn testimony by both Sims and Myers that they were innocent. "I believe I was in Athens at the time," said Sims. Parroted Myers: "I do believe I was in Athens at this time."

Even with stops at Nagoya and Kyoto, the Hikari covered the run in a record 3 hr. 56 min. When regular service opens Oct. 1-ten days before the Olympic Games begin-some of the line's 60 passenger trains a day will make the run in four hours v. 6½ over the parallel Old Tokaido Line.

Also in the ranks: South Carolina's Strom Thurmond, who holds the alltime Senate wind record with an uninterrupted 24-hr. 18-min. speech during the 1957 civil rights debate; North Carolina's Sam Ervin, who is ready with a waist-high pile of books on constitutional law and a heap of stories about Uncle Ephraim and Job Hicks; and Louisiana's Russell Long, whose father Huey once rambled...
Compromise Course. McNamara apparently opposes direct commitment of U.S. troops at present to combat the Viet Cong Communists. Back in Washington at week's end, he delivered a 1-hr. 15-min. verbal report to President Johnson, prepared a long written memorandum as well. Pentagon sources predicted that McNamara, while not discarding the possibility of some form of harassment against North Viet Nam, such as hit-and-run raids by Vietnamese guerrillas, was expected to urge that Washington simply step up its logistical support...
