...troubled '60s, Wayne the political theorist and Wayne the film maker formed a merger. After mulling over the drama for 14 years, Wayne produced, directed and starred in The Alamo ? as Davy Crockett. The picture was about the Texans v. the troops of Santa Anna, but it was also, he said, "to remind people not only in America but everywhere that there were once men and women who had the guts to stand up for the things they believed...

At last week's Santa Clara International Invitational Meet, the Indiana University freshman entered three events and tied records in each of them: 1) his own world mark of 55.6 sec. in the 100-meter butterfly; 2) the American record in the 100-meter freestyle (52.6 sec.); 3) Don Schollander's world mark in the 200-meter freestyle (1 min. 54.3 sec.).
