...make her 400-meter victory even sweeter, Chris beat her great home-state rival, Berkeley's husky, 17-year-old Sylvia Ruuska (TIME, Mar. 9) by a full 7.5 sec., established herself as the most promising U.S. freestyler in years. Even so, Chris is still far from her peak. A leggy 5 ft. 10 in., 141 lbs., she is still filling out, should be faster yet in the Rome Olympics next August against the great Australians.

Robert J. Lurtsema brought first-rate dynamism and nobility to the leading role of Eddie Carbone. Dana Bate was fine as his older cousin Marco. And Dean Gitter '56 played the lawyer Alfieri with intelligence...
...unity, but failed by one vote to override. Two days later, still seething over the defeat of their House colleagues, Senate Democrats sharply attacked when an Eisenhower courier flew back from Europe with a veto for the second fat housing bill they have passed this year. Exploiting the peak moment of indignation, crafty Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson called for an immediate vote to override.
