...appeals in July; a few days later another court ordered the immediate merger of the 73 Louisville public schools with the 107 schools in surrounding Jefferson County to facilitate the busing. (The newly merged school district has a total enrollment of 130,000 students, including 26,000 blacks.) Milburn T. Maupin, a black former acting superintendent of Louisville schools, then organized and directed a human-relations campaign designed to minimize racial tensions.

Until a few weeks ago, the athlete with the surest shot at a gold medal in track seemed to be muttonchopped Rod Milburn of Opelousas, La., who has not lost a 110-meter hurdle race in two seasons. Then, in the final at the U.S. trials, he was jarred off balance and finished third, behind Tom Hill and Willie Davenport. Milburn still ranks as the favorite, but he is clearly not invincible. In the discus, Jay Silvester of Orem, Utah, was the world record holder beaten by Al Oerter...
