...there were, stations such as WJRZ in Newark, which devote three full hours every Sunday night to vintage drama, would use even more oldies. As it is, a station that starts broadcasting The Lone Ranger weekly can count on enough 30-min. installments of the Silver saga to last 50 years...
Looping the Field. The way he goes about winning makes the victories even gaudier. In July's $100,000 Brooklyn Handicap at Aqueduct, Gun Bow galloped 1¼ miles in 1 min. 593/5 sec.-the fastest mile-and-a-quarter in the history of New York racing. He won by twelve lengths. In the $54,300 Whitney Stakes at Saratoga last month, Gun Bow was unruly in the gate, broke dead last. Charging after the field, he suddenly spotted a leaf on the track, set himself like a steeplechaser approaching a hedge, and jumped. Then he settled down...
Even with stops at Nagoya and Kyoto, the Hikari covered the run in a record 3 hr. 56 min. When regular service opens Oct. 1-ten days before the Olympic Games begin-some of the line's 60 passenger trains a day will make the run in four hours v. 6½ over the parallel Old Tokaido Line. The new line took five years to build, and skirts the sea for most of the way; its architects did away completely with grade crossings, designed 548 bridges, 66 tunnels and 57 miles of elevated right of way.

...More for Connie. The fixes had little effect-at least last week. In their first meeting in the finals, Constellation handed Eagle the worst beating in the history of 12-meter cup competition, winning by a full mile and 11 min. 42 sec. in light winds. A good bit of the margin, moreover, was due to a costly goof by Eagle's reshuffled deck crew; when the jib halyard parted, a new jib was clipped on the wrong way, and it took four minutes to get things straight. By then Constellation was long gone...
...exhausting short-tacking drive; 17 times in 15 minutes he put about, gaining a precious second or two on each tack. At last, on the 17th try, Bavier cleared Constellation from Eagle's cover, drove through to leeward and carried into clear air to win by 1 min...
