...brouhaha had barely begun. In his first heat, Korean War Ace (seven MIGs) Bob Love averaged 410 m.p.h. -only to be placed third for cutting over three pylons, completely missing another. Then California's Darryl Greenameyer won his first heat, beating Slovak by 10 m.p.h.-and disqualified himself by landing on Reno's paved runway instead of Stead's dirt. Not that Greenameyer didn't try. Stripped of practically everything, including landing flaps, his silver Bearcat hippity-hopped all over the runway until he frantically poured on the power and took off again. Landing safely...

Stockhausen had eight friends with artistic talents of sorts-a painter, a poet, an amateur moviemaker, a Korean composer, a newspaper vendor, a street singer and two musicians.

Earlier, twelve other countries had responded with promises of new or increased help, ranging from a West German slaughterhouse to a squad of Korean karate instructors...
Better Motivated. The organization got started in 1949 when Mrs. Ranald H. Macdonald, wife of a New York investment banker, and a small group of volunteers began recording textbooks for G.l.s blinded in World War II. The Korean war casualty list sharply increased the need for help, and in 1951 Recording for the Blind was incorporated. Now, at the New York headquarters and 15 other recording units from Miami to Los Angeles, teams of readers and monitors (who check the spoken word against the text) spend hours inside soundproof booths to build up a catalogue of titles that stands...
