Britain's Champion Stirling Moss whirled out of the pits and whirled into the lead with his dark green Aston Martin, hoping to con the whole team of Ferraris into giving chase. Last year this stunt made wrecks of the bright red Italian cars; they burned out before they really got into the race. This year California's Phil Hill and his co-driver, Belgium's Olivier Gendebein, played it smart: they kept their 3-liter Ferrari well back in the pack. And they saw the field thin rapidly as they nursed their car along. Last year...
...other matches, Ned Weld trounced Pete Moss, 6-1, 6-0, Alan Goldman won over Bob Hodges, 6-3, 6-0, Bill Wood defeated Tom Cover, 6-0, 6-3, and Laurie Pratt beat George Koyt, 6-1, 6-0.

Most important, the new rules clamp down hard on the numerous additives used in mass ice-cream making. FDA approves the continued use of such lump-preventing stabilizers as gelatin, locust-bean gum, sodium alginate, guar-seed gum and extract of Irish peat moss. But it frowns on any further use of alkaline neutralizers, e.g., baking soda, which some producers use to sweeten up sour milk and cream, make it palatable. Totally banned: certain acid emulsifiers that make ice cream smooth by breaking down the barrier between fat and water. While approving chemicals that occur naturally in food, FDA rejected...
...noisy, car-killing history had Florida's International Twelve-Hour Grand Prix of Endurance killed off so many major entries so fast. Britain's class-conscious Jaguars died early. The green Aston-Martins took a little longer to come apart, but when Britain's Stirling Moss brought his to the pits with its gear box shot, the Aston-Martins were out of the running. The race was only half over when it belonged to the black stallions rearing from the emblem on the red, low-slung noses of Italy's Ferraris. Ferrari Driver Peter Collins...
...veteran of eleven years of racing, Collins and his Ferrari-driving teammates had much more to worry about than wearing out Stirling Moss and the Aston-Martins. The big trick was to keep the Ferraris percolating. Last year the cars' drum brakes wore out early. Now they were back with the same type, and many an expert expected that they could not last as long as the quick-change disk brakes on the Aston-Martins and the Jags. Lead-footed Peter Collins usually figures to "go like hell and the car be damned," but this time he followed orders...
