...that he had been "smuggled" out of the country to keep him from recanting his oft-professed love for Communism. One thing was sure: Actor-Singer Paul Robeson, 65, had disappeared into East Germany for what was called "a medical examination and a stay in a rest home." Mysteriously ill for the past two years, he has been protected from the press by his permanently left-leaning wife Eslanda, who even fended off a persistent reporter who flew with them to Germany by threatening him with judo. Finally, from East Germany came a statement attributed to Robeson calling talk...
...Ill lay: Former West German President Theodor Heuss, 79, in Stuttgart's Katharinenhospital, in serious condition after the amputation of his left leg (above the knee) because of gangrene due to a blood clot; California's Democratic Senator Clair Engle, 51, in Washington's Doctor's Hospital after surgery for the removal of "a small amount of brain tissue" which was thought to be the cause of muscle spasms in his right...

Revenue has plummeted from $260 million in 1960 to $205 million last year-and the figures are still falling...
...reporters in on their none-too-startling secret of success. It was hard training that did the trick, they said. Last week, when Japanese reporters asked how it was done, U.S. Coach Ralph Casey came back with a similar bromide: "Hard work." But he added a postscript that boded ill for Japanese swimmers far beyond the day next year when this year's crop of young record breakers returns to Tokyo for the Olympics. "We have upwards of 600,000 swimmers under systematic training back home," said Casey, "and more than 2,000 paid coaches working for them." Japan...
