...pale sun of a late afternoon, a carriage of Sweden's royal household came to a stop before a weathered granite tombstone inscribed HJALMAR HAMMARSKJOLD FAMILY GRAVE.

General Assembly meeting in New York was forbidden by authorities in the former French Congo, who said that they could not guarantee his safety "because of the discontent and agitation provoked by events in Katanga." When Hammarskjold heard the news, his only reaction was to stare vacantly in the direction of an Indian pipe drum...

...desperate desire to win. All through the summer, Von Trips, 33, and Phil Hill, 34, of Santa Monica, Calif., teammates in Italian Auto Magnate Enzo Ferrari's racing contingent, had dueled across the Continent for the world title.* Before the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, the pale, slim German nobleman was just in front of the taut, nervous American in the competition for the Grand Prix championship.
