...mero Uno; its collection of great paintings in an exquisite building proved so popular that the pavilion had to start charging 250 admission just to control the crush inside. The elegant Japanese pavilion is another hit, with a beautifully balanced display of new products and ancient crafts, samurai dueling, judo wrestling and Kabuki dancing. With a few notable exceptions such as Illinois and its electronic Abe, a number of state and foreign pavilions are in trouble. The New England pavilion expects to end at least...
...Milers Tom O'Hara and Dyrol Burleson had to scratch from the 1,500-meter run; so Jim Grelle got to tick off that one.

Military uniforms and Boy Scout getups are a help for hitchhikers, and two Canadians in Nice recently made it in record time to southern Spain by dressing in cassocks...
...Greek & Judo. Each year more than a million people use the worn buff building that the YMHA now hopes to expand at a cost of $3,400,000. The place throbs with judo, handball, bar bells and basketball, but no other Y has gone so far beyond the swim-gym syndrome. With 50 teachers and 700 students, it has a music school that most universities would envy.
