...going!" cries Jack LaLanne, a 53-year-old, V-shaped (47-27-34) monument to muscularity. "Get those sweat glands working! Kick! Back! One-and-kick-and-two-and-kick-and-smile-and-kick! Don't stop! Smile and kick!" He wears ballet slippers and a body-hugging, low-cut jump suit, and bounds around like the original jumping Jack. Backed by bubbly organ music, he gives lectures on the beauties of sweating ("It's Mother Nature's air conditioner"), sings, tells jokes, blows kisses and delivers sermonettes. No one, he says, can hope for a sound...
...teammate, Guy Périllat, who had started first and zipped down the 1.8-mile course in 1 min. 59.93 sec. "I knew Périllat's time," Jean-Claude said afterward. "I figured I had the race in hand."

At the current ten-day National Boat Show in Manhattan's Coliseum, they are rivaling glamour yachts such as the $80,250 Hatteras triple-cabin cruiser, the most expensive boat in the show, for attention...
...poorer sections of Boston and the Negro sections of Boston, which were badly in need of renewal and rehabilitation. In 1960 we made the Washington Park Project a matter of first priority. Contrary to the lamentations of some in the last campaign, thousands of new apartment houses, low income "221d3" apartment houses were built; literally hundreds of individual rehabilitation jobs have been completed or are underway; a new YMCA, a new Boys' Club, a new community shopping center, and many other improvements in Washington Park have been built where formerly there existed only squalor and hopelessness. This...
...absorbed mainly in the promotion of wars and in the invention of increasingly destructive means for the extermination of man by man, someone, somehow, and sometime had to engage in the study of the phenomena of unselfish love, no matter how inadequate were his capabilities or how low the esteem of colleagues for his engaging in such a 'foolish enterprise...
