...hastily called Los Angeles press conference contrasted sharply with his relaxed appearance. Under pressure from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Knapp explained, F.C.A. was adjusting its earnings report to show a second-quarter loss of $107.5 million instead of the $31.1 million profit announced earlier. The dispute with the SEC was a technical argument concerning the manner in which the company reported sales of Government mortgage securities...
...first event last week, Thompson powered his way to 10.44 sec. in the 100 meters, equaling his best time in a decathlon. In the long jump, roaring down the runway on his third try, he flew 26 ft. 3½ in., 8¼ in. ahead of the West German, and good enough to have placed fifth in the regular competition. The shotput should have been an event in which Hingsen trimmed Thompson's lead. Hingsen heaved his blue shot (color-coordinated with the German uniform) 52 ft. ¾ in.

...speedy squad mounted unnerving counterattacks to overcome Greece, Brazil, Spain, Holland and Australia. West Germany, however, was more formidable. With the game tied at 7-7, West German Goalie Peter Röhle was ejected on a penalty, and Doug Burke of the U.S. scored with only 26 sec. left. The rough-and-ready Yugoslavs squelched U.S. hopes in the final game when they tied the Americans 5-5 but won the championship because they had outscored their opponents by a wider margin. The U.S. silver was only the country's third medal since a pre-Tarzan Johnny Weissmuller...
