Each year, Italy's Automaestro Enzo Ferrari brings his high-whining, finely tuned racing instruments to Florida for the Sebring Twelve Hour Endurance Race. Each year, with splendid monotony, they mop up everything but the oil on the track. When onetime Racing Driver Carroll Shelby decided in 1961 to challenge the master with a cannibalized machine of his own devising - a brutish Ford engine* jammed into a bulging A.C. Bristol body - the Monster of Maranello smiled a fine Italian smile. Last year on this concrete and blacktop track, three of the six Shelby Cobras entered broke down; highest Cobra...
...Kennedy International Airport, and the whole place went up for grabs. Some 2,000 hooky-playing, caterwauling teen-agers stomped, whistled, screamed, sang or just plain fainted while the plane slowly disgorged 105 passengers, eleven crew members and four British Beetles. Oops, Beatles. On their first U.S. tour, the mop-topped, top pop waiters, John Lennon, 23, George Harrison, 21, Paul McCartney, 21, and Ringo Starr, 23, grinned amiably at the whole mad display.

Says Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay: "If kiddie cars will do the job, we will use them...
John Kennedy had first come to Harvard 27 years earlier. He entered the college in the fall of 1936--a thin, 19-year-old graduate of Choate with a mop of unruly hair and a tooth-paste ad smile. Originally, he did not want to come to Harvard. Kennedy enrolled at Princeton in 1935, but a case of yellow jaundice forced him to withdraw. His four years as a Harvard undergraduate were to be inconsistent, as were his later relations with the University...
...Spot & Mop. Overjoyed at his son's return, the Gimo nevertheless thought him too Russian in his outlook and had him tutored for two years to "make him Chinese again." Ever since, Ching-kuo has loyally and efficiently handled a succession of jobs for his father, ranging from operating a concentration camp for Communist suspects on Green Island to creating a system of political commissars to check on loyalty in the army. Under Ching-kuo, Nationalist guerrillas probe the mainland for soft spots in the defenses and public disaffection with the Red regime. Over the past two years, some...
