...gardens overlooking the Pasig River, Johnson sat with a bright pink bandanna around his neck and a wreath of white sampaguitas-the Philippines' national flower-on his head, sampling suckling pig, barbecued crab claws, pickled papaya and coconut punch laced with rum. When the band struck up Hello, Dolly!, the President loped out onto the marble floor with Imelda while guests scrambled atop chairs and tables for a better view. Alone, the couple danced through one chorus, Lyndon lumbering around in his Texas two-step, Imelda crooning the words to him. Still alone, they danced to a second chorus...
...high-speed (160 m.p.h.) trains-much like those of Japan's famed Tokaido line-into service between Boston and Washington, the nation's most people-packed corridor. For a little farther in the future, Detroit auto men are working on a system called Teletrans, in which punch cards would guide 45-m.p.h. private capsules along a track inside a tube. There are also plans for automated superhighways on which card-steered cars would whiz from Detroit to Washington in four hours at 125 m.p.h. Ford has been experimenting with an air-cushioned, no-wheel, 300-m.p.h. train called...
...chest tapers to a 32-in. waist. "That fella could be great if he was trained properly," Benbow decided, and in 1962 bought up his contract for $20,000. Over the next two years, Williams won seven fights, lost only one, developed a thunderous right-hand punch to go with a devastating left hook. Finally, in November 1964, the Big Cat got a real chance: he signed to fight Ernie Terrell for the World Boxing Association's version of the heavyweight title. Benbow gave Williams a crisp new $100 bill and told him to celebrate...
...U.C.L.A.'s Gary Beban, 20, and Harold Busby, 19, provide the punch for a razzle-dazzle offense that has averaged 431.2 yds. and 37.6 points per game-both tops in the nation. The closest call experienced all year by the unbeaten, No. 3-ranked Bruins came at Rice, when they trailed 24-16 with a little more than three minutes to go. Quarterback Beban threw a 33-yd. pass that was deflected by two Rice defenders; Flanker Busby, a 9.4-sec.-dash man, flashed behind the defenders, leaped, and snared the ball for a touchdown. A 2-point conversion...
Princeton finally exhibited a little offensive punch last Saturday, defeating Penn 30-13. The Tigers, moving consistently, scored four touchdowns on the ground, rushed for 263 yards, and picked up 22 first downs. Penn's defense was as loose as it was the week before against Bucknell...
