...week under the watchful eyes of Mihaly Igloi, a former Hungarian Olympic coach who defected at Melbourne in 1956. "I have absolute faith in Coach," says Beatty. "I don't understand his formula; I just do what he says. If he told me to run a 3-min. 50-sec mile [world record: 3 min. 54.4 sec.], I'd do it." Farfetched as this may sound, the way Beatty has been running recently almost anything seems possible. Fortnight ago in the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, he became the first miler ever to break four minutes indoors. According...
...study in contrasts. Tense and ready, Ron Delany, 26, is a throwback to Don Gehrmann: undefeated in 34 straight indoor miles, he pays no attention to the clock, runs only fast enough to win, and has yet to demonstrate his full potential (his best indoor time: 4 min. 1.4 sec.).

Fortnight ago at Wanganui, N.Z., he outdistanced a star-studded international field by 25 yds. and set a world record of 3 min. 54.4 sec. for the mile. Last week in Christchurch, Snell added two more records to his bag. Finishing a fantastic 100 yds. ahead of the U.S.'s Jim Dupree, Snell streaked through 880 yds. in 1 min. 45.1 sec. On the way, he was clocked at 1 min...
...containing, among other necessities, a ten-dollar bill. A group from Santa Cruz fled to the Arizona mountain hamlet of Cleator, sure they had chosen one of the twelve places on earth that would be spared by the onrushing disaster. In Los Angeles, radio station KNX scheduled a 55-min. program on the earth's astrological peril. Said Producer Sydney Omarr: "People are taking astrology seriously nowadays. What goes on upstairs has an effect down here...
