At 10:30 a.m., a tiny grey Citroën delivery truck double-parked in front of Clerc's jewelry shop, on the Place du Casino across from Monte Carlo's tourist-draped Hôtel de París. Three men in smocks, mountaineer hoods and submachine guns jumped out; one took station at the door. Inside the store, the smaller hood yanked the telephone wire and smacked an employee while the larger hood snapped a burst of bullets through the window of a display case...

Eisenhower as an exclusive ABC commentator...
...Mickey Wright, 29: the United States women's open golf title for a fourth time, at the San Diego Country Club. Forced into a playoff round with Ruth Jessen, Mighty Mickey boomed the ball around the 6,400-yd. course for a man-sized, three-under-par 70 and her seventh victory in twelve tournaments this year. Said her opponent: "I hate to lose, but there is some consolation in losing to the greatest woman golfer in the world...
