...anchored the U.S. women's 400-meter relay team to a new world mark of 44.3 sec. Frank Budd swept to a big victory in the men's 100 meters, and helped the men's relay team set another world record, of 39.1 sec. Gary Gubner, muscular 18-year-old New York University freshman, established himself as new Prince of the Whales by putting the shot 60 ft. 7½ in. As a climax, the meet provided the finest display of jumping in track history. The U.S.'s Ralph Boston leaped to a world broad jump...
Hoffa flew in with his wife* and three goals: to clear his clouded claim to the Teamster presidency, which he has held "provisionally" under a 1958 federal court order; to centralize union authority firmly in his own muscular hands; to broaden the brotherhood's charter and set the Teamsters free to organize anyone from airline stewardesses to zoo keepers. By week's end, Hoffa accomplished all three...

An unorthodox upstart from Southern California, Bob Avant, dived headfirst over the high-jump bar, somersaulted onto his back with a crunching thud after clearing 7 ft. to beat Boston University's John...

They huddled with each other and with Austrian officials, making program and security arrangements. Little trouble is expected from the thousands of Hungarian and other Iron Curtain refugees. Those who have not already migrated are contentedly working in unemployment-free Vienna. Reinforcements moved in for the Marine guard at the U.S. embassy. In deference to Austrian neutrality, they took off their blouses and military caps while traveling...
...nominated it for first prize at "a Conservatory in Hell." Rediscovered in 1945, it proves no more shocking to modern ears than Richard Rodgers' Victory at Sea. A romantic but vigorous work, it gives little hint of Rachmaninoff's later rhapsodies. The Leningrad Philharmonic is properly muscular...
