Last week's Le Mans was true to tradition. Brazil's Bino Heins, 28, was killed when his French-built Alpine skidded on an oil slick, clipped a fence pole, spun into a ditch, and burst into flames. The fastest car in the race, a prototype 4.9-liter Maserati, led for the first two hours (averaging about 120 m.p.h.), then pulled into the pits, and was not seen again. The U.S.'s Phil Hill, driving an Aston Martin, topped a hummock at 150 m.p.h. to find a car rolling over and over directly in front...
...black flag and started to wave it at Jones. Fengler rushed up and told him to put it away. That set off an arm-waving argument between Agajanian and Chapman-in full view of everyone. On Lap 195, with third place sewed up, Roger McCluskey hit an oil slick, lost control, and spun out. Once again, for the ninth time in the race, the yellow caution light flashed on-"slow down, hold position, no passing...
...digressions, these lapses in the script only interfere a little with the fun; they don't spoil it.

Mr. Paul's loquacity...

At 10:30 Thursday morning-slightly over 48 hours after the submarine slipped out of Portsmouth harbor -a weary, grief-stricken Admiral Anderson told the press of the oil slick and debris and said, "So I conclude with great regret and sadness that this ship with 129 fine souls aboard is lost...
Signed to a long-term pact were Singing TV Star Ricky Nelson, 22, and his slick chick Kristin Harmon, 17, applying for a marriage license in Santa Monica, Calif., all set to wed on April 20. "I don't think 22 is too young to get married, if you have found the right girl," said Rick, and Kristin, daughter of former football great Tommy Harmon, looked right as rain. Whether she will join Rick in The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet remained to be seen, but with those clannish Nelsons gaining such a pretty new face, it seemed...
