...couple of years in the mid sixties, the race was dominated by European teams, who had had a great deal of experience with the rear-engine configuration just coming into use at the Speedway. Most of the Grand Prix circus showed up for the race, and Jimmy Clark and Graham Hill won in consecutive years. This year Jack Brabham, who started it all in 1961, is the only foreign driver in the race. Bruce McLaren, another Grand Prix builder/driver, has cars entered, but they are being driven by Americans...
...years ago by his current teammate. Joe Leonard, in one of the now-banned turbine cars. With the turbines effectively banished from the Speedway by air inlet restrictions, some of the technical interest has gone out of the race.

The marriage of military discipline and academic freedom is uneasy at best, but Rear Admiral James F. Calvert, now in his second year as academy superintendent, has proved himself a talented matchmaker...
...prisons, or urge his genius to touch just beyond its comfort. The condition of language at present may be compared, more or less unemotionally, to a stupefied, labyrinthine torture-house, which is nothing but unconnecting hallways, with only one way forward, the floor creeping with pursuant poison to the rear. Keep the words pure and the laws will be just, said Ezra Pound. It's an admonition, not a solution, The only way is poetry, for poets have less rubbish in their heads than other men. They have the power of symbol. Great poets possess the power of sensuous...
