...presence of booze and dark lust in the nightclubs is harmful to their art. Winter, who figures that jazz musicians can be of greater help to the world's teetering countries than Peace Corpsmen or even helicopter pilots, wants them to clean up their lives for the great leap into diplomacy. "Jazz is one of the few hopes the free world has left," he says earnestly, "and what could be of real help everywhere is a Jazz Corps!" The jazz audience, in large part, agrees, insisting that its musicians have been "the real ambassadors" all along. Jazz thinkers, quick...
...government campaign may well fizzle, as it did in 1958. Says one expert on China's agriculture: "In the debris of the Great Leap Forward, compulsion cannot work. All that is left is persuasion."

Lampe was able to capture sixth place in a strong field, but his throw of 199 ft. 9 in. was well below his University record...
Ohiri will also have a strong chance of winning the hop-step-and-jump. His University record leap of over 49 feet ranks among the best college marks in the nation. Harvard will probably pick up extra points in the triple jump from Chum Azikiwe, who has been over 46 feet several times during the year...
