Green was a blunt, unpretentious man. Sime Silverman, who founded the paper in 1905, hired Green in 1918; in 1933 Green began to edit the paper, was given a battered desk close to the window of Variety's office just off Manhattan's Times Square and never changed it. He was rarely without the bow tie and sleeve garters he affected to look like Sime. He seemed to know every entertainer, the famous and freakish alike. A walk down the street invariably involved dozens of exchanged greetings and many an impromptu conference. He found time to coauthor, with...
...long-jump farther; Smith has done 26 ft. 10 in. unofficially, even though he has never practiced the event. In the 220-yd. dash, nobody comes anywhere close. Last spring in San Jose, Tommie ran the 220 on a straight course in 19.5 sec., clipping .5 sec. off Dave Sime's ten-year-old world record; he then went out and whisked 220 yds. around a turn in 20 sec. flat, slicing .2 sec. off Henry Carr's 1964 mark. This year Tommie has turned his attention to still another event-the quarter-mile-and in Louisville last...
...Governing Boards. There are ten major units of instruction and research--such as the Law School, the Medical School, the Business School, and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (serving both the College and Graduate School)--each with its own independent departments and interests; and there are various other sime-independent units, many of considerable size, in the museums, forests, and other kinds of centers which together make the many departments of Harvard here and abroad. Each department is a separate budgetary unit with its own resources and needs, responsible for its own finances. So from a financial, as opposed...
...Hayes, 21: the 100-yd. dash in 9.1 sec., tying his own world record, over a slow, rain-soaked track at the Orange Bowl track meet. A 10-m.p.h. wind made it all unofficial, but Hayes also splashed through the 220 in 20.1 sec.-just .1 sec. off Dave Sime's world mark-even though he slowed down to avoid crashing into spectators at the finish line...
...shoes, comb their hair and run." Not until the 1960 Rome Olympics did Budd realize that work would make him a real champion. Unheralded and unnoticed, he placed fifth in the 100-meter dash-despite the fact that he was spiked in the foot by fellow U.S. Sprinter Dave Sime. "When Frank went to Rome," says his Villanova Teammate Paul Drayton, "he was a good sprinter. When he came back, he was great." A solid 5 ft. 10 in., 172 lbs., Budd ran away from everyone in six straight meets during the 1960-61 indoor season. Outdoors that summer...
