...into a knot, then exploded for a throw of 193 ft. 9½ in., 2 ft. 10½ in. short of the world record. Whirling mightily, Boston's Hal Connolly, 28, threw the hammer 224 ft. 4½ in., just 11½ in. short of his world record. Patriarch of the U.S. whales, Shotputter Parry O'Brien, 28, a gold medal winner in both 1952 and 1956, this year had lost time and again. But with the pressure on, O'Brien won with a putt...

And Gennadius' successor, the Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I, who once made his headquarters in Manhattan as Greek Orthodox primate for North and South America, is a lot more approachable on church reunion than was Gennadius. Both Athenagoras and Lardone became American citizens during their U.S. stay; though the Treaty of Lausanne required Athenagoras to become a Turk again on his election as Patriarch...
...sharpshooting Raymond clan. In 1922 Albert Raymond had fussed with his wife, ended by shooting her and killing himself. Grandson Gerald Raymond had been led to jail recently for threatening to kill a man. Only a month ago, the family's hot blood ran true-and freely-when Patriarch Norval Raymond, 69, blasted a son-in-law in the face with a shotgun. Yet one Raymond seemed free of the curse of violence: short (5 ft. 5 in.), wiry Dan, 43, an avid hunter who liked his outdoor job as a pipeline worker for a natural gas company...
