...chunky Frank Budd, world-record holder (9.2 sec.) in the 100-yd. dash and undefeated at that distance in two years. But in the Walnut Meet, closely pressed by Florida A. & M.'s 19-year-old Robert Hayes, Budd tore a thigh muscle and pulled up lame. But with Hayes (who clocked a sizzling 9.3 sec. at the nationals) running in the 100 meters, Paul Drayton (who turned in a record-tying 20.5 sec. for 220 yds. around a turn) racing in the 200 meters, and Ulis Williams (whose 45.8 sec. for 440 yds. is only...

The COMECON agenda was, as usual, secret, but obviously two acute problems had converged to unsettle Soviet policymakers: 1) the booming success of the Common Market, which violates Red dogma that capitalist states must...
...their presence, some screamed insults at them. Becerra vainly shouted for order, but gave up in despair. He ordered the chamber lights turned off and left the room. The Deputies filed from the building, trying to pick their way between police and rioting Peronistas. One Deputy, slowed by a lame leg, was hit in the chest by a tear-gas bomb and hospitalized...
