...implication was that if President Kennedy had been shielded or thrown to safety on the floor of the car in the 5-sec. interval between the two shots, he might have survived. A Secret Serviceman, trained to react quickly in such emergencies, might have done just that had he been stationed close enough to Kennedy. One agent rode in the front seat of Kennedy's car in Dallas, but there was no way for him to scramble back to the President's aid in time. Kennedy himself had always objected to agents flanking him closely (particularly when campaigning...
Last week stubborn Lafayette put three men on Bradley, and sometimes there were five. He still shook loose for 27 points-including a basket in the last 2 sec. that tied the game and sent it into overtime. With 35 sec. left in the overtime period and the Tigers trailing by two points, he sank another clutch shot-and the game went into double overtime. Then Bradley coolly dumped in two free throws, and Princeton pulled the game out, 69-64. Three days later, he scored 31 points as the Tigers sank Navy, 80-76. That brought Bradley...
...turbulent early 1930s. Since taking leave from his post as a Columbia University law professor in 1961, Gary has prodded the American Stock Exchange into overdue reforms, presided over the most sweeping investigation of Wall Street in 30 years.

Publicity-shunning Gary's modest manner belies...

Sec retaries, pretty but unfamiliar, bustled around through the anterooms. The doors to the President's office, nearly always open when John F. Kennedy was there, were closed tight. Inside that office, as the aide well knew, was Lyndon Baines Johnson, probably at that very moment speaking softly into a green telephone...
...pony back are over," says one scout. "And by pony I mean everyone weighing much under 200 lbs. With these big defensive lines, you have to run big, fast bull elephants." Oregon's Renfro is just what the zoologist ordered. He runs the high hurdles, is a 9.7-sec. dash man, plows into tacklers "with reckless abandon and no regard for his personal safety." Ohio State's Warfield will have to put on pounds, but he is "the complete pro prospect-with the instinctive savvy to do the right things and be in the right places." Pittsburgh...
