...human," the Los Angeles Coliseum was Last Chance Gulch; sidelined for three months with a torn hamstring muscle in his thigh, he had to finish at least third in one of the dashes to earn a trip to Tokyo. Hayes did even better: he tied the American record (10.1 sec.) for the 100-meter dash. Like Broad Jumper Boston, Ohio's Rex Cawley had an intriguing theory about breaking world records: don't train. Cawley's worked too: he ran the 400-meter hurdles in 49.1 sec. And then there was California Schoolteacher Mike Larrabee, who really...
...first was at Corvallis, Ore.; Lind-gren's time was a so-so 29 min. 37.6 sec. One month later, at the U.S.-Russia track meet, he shaved 20 sec. off that time. Last week he ran the fastest 10,000 meters run by an American all year: 29 min. 2 sec.-winning by 70 yds. and waving happily to the wildly cheering crowd. No one, least of all Lindgren, has the foggiest idea how fast he can really run. "I'm not sure I can do any better than 29.2," Lindgren says. "But I sure hope...

But if there were any such backlash, it would have shown itself last week in a Democratic primary in Michigan's 16th Congressional District (sec story on Page 23), and it failed to materialize...
...afternoon last week the wind kicked up to 15 knots-hardly a roaring nor'easter but plenty stiff for Eagle to show what she had. And that was not enough. Constellation boomed out ahead after the start, tucked Eagle neatly into her backwind, was 43 sec. ahead rounding the first mark, and wound up clobbering Eagle by 4 min. 29 sec. Less than two hours later, Commodore Henry Morgan, chairman of the New York Yacht Club Selection Committee, stepped aboard Connie at her moorings. "It is my very happy duty," he said, "to announce that Constellation has been selected...
