...Denver managed to come up with a bit of the old whoop and whistle last week. Some 20,000 people lined the streets as Lieut. General Lew Walt, 54, just back from his two-year stint as commanding officer of the Marines in Viet Nam, perched on the rear seat of a 1912 International Autowagon and led a parade of school bands, color guards, flag-waving children and the 70-man Marine Recruit Depot Band. Rousing as it all was, the real kick for Walt was his return visit to Colorado State University at Fort Collins, where the toughest general...
...they could not, Ferrari Team Manager Franco Lini ordered his drivers to hold back, bide their time, and wait for misfortune to hit the Mark IVs. The gamble almost paid off. One Mark IV went off the course, got stuck in sand and never got out; another lost its rear hood, had to pit for repairs and dropped far behind. Then there was Mario Andretti. Running second in the No. 3 Mark IV, Andretti barreled into a turn at 150 m.p.h., only to lose control of the car when his right front brake grabbed. The Mark IV caromed...
...Last week the 1959 majority became the minority as six Justices said no, inspectors must get search warrants when Americans balk at letting their homes or businesses be checked. In one case, San Francisco Bookstore Owner Roland Camara had admittedly violated the city housing code by living in the rear of his store. In 1963, Camara was arrested for refusing to let a housing inspector see the premises without a warrant; last week the court barred his prosecution. Also in 1963, Norman See received a suspended $100 fine for not allowing a Seattle fire inspector to check his locked warehouse...
...days after the stakeouts began in the rear of Pilgrim stores and parked cars near by, the story made headlines in the Houston papers. Then Police Chief Herman Short claimed he had heard a rumor to the effect that there would be a $1,000 bounty for each hijacker killed. While Mayor Louie Welch said he had "no objection" to the idea of the squads, Short ordered his men not to moonlight for Wilson-though they may still take such part-time jobs as saloon bouncers. "Houston police," Short declared, "do not hire out as executioners for anybody...
...fastest, scariest, and most intriguing Memorial Day 500 in history. For the nostalgic, who bemoan the passing of the old Offenhauser-powered roadsters that dominated the 500 for years, there was Lloyd Ruby, who hit 165.2 m.p.h. in his American Red Ball Special powered by a rear-mounted Offy. For patriots, unhappy that foreign "sporty car" drivers in foreign machines have won the last two 500s, there was California's Dan Gurney, who blasted his American Eagle around the track at a fantastic 167.2 m.p.h.-demolishing the four-lap record set last year by Mario Andretti. And; for aficionados...
