...black limousine and set out to cover the story. He had no trouble. Naturally the most varied and militant types of transport were put to use by our Saigon Bureau staffers, all out on this week's coverage of Viet Nam.

Another field is that led by Art Arfons, who hit 600 m.p.h. in his jet-powered Green Monster at Bonneville last October, now has his sights set on breaking the sound barrier-on land. Arfons has his hero too-Jimmy Clark-and at the Indianapolis 500, he was right there, one of the first in the line of well-wishers waiting to greet Clark after...
