...battery, trailing two bearded Japanese artillerymen to it, then cut loose. They killed more than 50 Japanese, spiked the guns, and escaped with only one casualty. Marcos won the first of a brace of Silver Stars for the operation, and a few weeks later was recommended for the U.S. Medal of Honor for his part in the defense of the Salian River. But the recommendation was never filed with Washington, and Marcos failed in becoming the only Filipino to win America's highest military award...
...each and are as alike as a school of anchovies. After the first two days, Boston's John J. ("Don") McNamara, 34, and Darien, Conn.'s William Cox, 53, were so far over the horizon that no one could catch them. McNamara, a bronze medal winner in the 5.5-meter class at the 1964 Olympics, was ahead with 371 points (1, 1, 3, 2, 1).

...broad-jump 25 ft. 6 in., run the 100-meter dash in 10.3 sec. (just .3 sec. off the world record), and Hodge, who still goes to college, can heave the 16-lb. shot 56 ft. 7½ in. - good enough by itself to coin an Olympic gold medal in 1948. Last month at the U.S. decathlon championships in Salina, Kans., Toomey scored 8,234 points under the complicated performance tables, and Hodge scored 8,130 to put both over the old world record of 8,089 set in 1963 by Nationalist China's C.
