...original SEC suit, filed in the spring of 1965, charged that 14 men had used advance knowledge of a copper ore strike in Timmons, Ont, to buy stock in Texas Gulf Sulphur. Lamont was initially said to be the only man not to have profited personally from the information; the original suit merely said that he had passed the information on to a friend, who had made large purchases for several banking clients. The suit was later amended, however, to charge that Lamont had bought securities for himself...
...stakes races. The star of the stable is Buckpasser, a son of Tom Fool, who won more money last year ($568,096) than any two-year-old in history, has won eight out of nine races so far this year-setting a world record (1 min. 32 ⅜sec.) for the mile in the process-and needs only to win this week's Travers Stakes at Saratoga to become the first three-year-old equine millionaire...
Best but Three. Between them, Toomey and Hodge have beaten Yang's best marks in all but three events. Toomey is strongest in the running events: he has pared .3 sec. off Yang's top time for the 100 meters, .9 sec. off his 400-meter mark, half a minute off his 1,500-meter time. Hodge is better in the field: he has put the shot 11 ft. 2¼ in. farther than Yang, hurled the discus 165 ft. 5 in. (v. Yang's 140 ft. 1 in.). Rooming together in a $110-a-month Santa...
...Angeles last week, the two friends staged a furious duel that for drama even overshadowed two world record performances - a 17-ft. 6¼-in. pole vault by John Fennel, and a 2-min. 59.6 sec. clocking in the 1,600-meter relay. After nine grueling events, Russ Hodge led Bill Toomey by only 146 points, and Toomey struggled grimly through the 1,500-meter run knowing that he needed to beat Hodge by at least 21 sec. to get enough points to pull ahead. Breaking the tape, he collapsed exhausted on the infield grass and waited for Hodge...
...tricky fourth-orbit rendezvous with Agena 10. To determine the final thrust required for the interception, Young and Collins used data from the on-board radar, inertial guidance and computer system. In some as yet unknown way, the system produced a figure nearly 7 ft. per sec. greater than the figure radioed up from ground control. When Collins' own slide-rule tabulation agreed with the spacecraft guidance system, Command Pilot Young chose to go with the double-checked on-board answer...
