...ARMOR. A new vest of overlapping plastic plates covers all vital body areas and weighs only 4 Ibs. It protects against all thrown objects, grenade and mortar fragments, and bullets moving slower than 1,000 ft. per sec. (which includes a wide variety of small-arms fire from anything but point-blank distance). Men who wear it, says Colonel Applegate, are much more willing to "close": they will perform countermob duties more aggressively...
...issue commands, has now dispensed with it because everyone has hand signals down pat). Cox makes the boat point higher and foot faster than any of her four rivals. In ten legs of windward work in the present series, she has gained a brisk total of 15 min. 24 sec. over her opponents; in 13 legs of off-the-wind sailing, her total gain has been 8 min. 59 sec., not quite so good but impressive enough...
...Clark, 28: the British and European Grand Prix with a record average 94.14 m.p.h. over the twisting 80-lap, 212-mi. course at Brands Hatch, England.

It stems largely from the SEC's massive 1963 stock market study (which, coincidentally, was led by Chicago Lawyer Milton Cohen, no kin to the new chairman). Gary made a strong pitch to Lyndon Johnson to pick Cohen, who was already a member of the five-man commission, as the new chairman, and Cohen was not hurt by his close friendship with White House Special Counsel Myer Feldman. Johnson was also under pressure...
