Correspondent George de Carvalho is beginning to rank as an expert on exotic rivers. Five years ago, as our Rio de Janeiro bureau chief, he suggested and did the reporting for the color story on the Amazon (Nov. 23, 1959).

Obviously, Marx has no concern for playing with music, or for producting a smooth fat sound that he can drag along from note to note...
Navy's Courtland Gray copped the hurdles title at Cornell in February, but the Crimson seems to have profited more from the addition of the second hurdle event outdoors. Gray and Army's Kent Allen rank as co-favorites in the 120-highs, with the Crimson's Tony Lynch the third choice...
