...plainly see the cut or the blood and wondered why the bout was halted in the middle of a round, felt cheated. But later photographs showed that the Frenchman's eye was in really bad shape. It was Olson's 18th straight victory. Although no Sugar Ray Robinson (his predecessor as middleweight champ), Olson is at least active, having defended his title three times this year. The week before the Langlois fight, boxing writers awarded Olson the Edward J. Neil Memorial Plaque as Fighter of the Year...
...Pontiff had taken no breakfast when, at 8 a.m., he stepped into a little, white-walled room in his Vatican apartment. Flanking an X-ray table set up for the occasion were four doctors. As the ailing Pope raised his hand in blessing, all knelt for a short prayer. Then, at last, the doctors were able to begin a task that should have been done months, if not years ago: a thorough X-ray of their patient's intestinal tract. (Many times during his recurrent illness the Pope could not have stood the process, but some Vaticaners feel that...

After 2¼ hours, and more conventional treatment as equipment was rounded up, Wisniewski's heart resumed its beat. This week he was doing well...
Even after Canadian Oilman Frank McMahon lost out in his fight to pipe natural gas from the vast Peace River Basin* of Alberta and British Columbia into the U.S. Northwest (TIME, June 28), he refused to concede defeat. Although the Federal Power Commission awarded the franchise to rival Ray Fish's Pacific Northwest Pipeline Corp. (see map), nature had spotted McMahon's untapped gas supplies some 400 miles closer to Seattle than the San Juan Basin along the Colorado-New Mexico border, from which Fish planned...
