...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 month, he sprinted 440 yds. in 46.2 sec., to smash Theron Lewis' world record by almost...
...Women's National Press Club gathered in Washington to hear the U.S. Senate's seven freshman members recite political japeries. The frosh were all droll, but the smash of the show was a sleeper: Virginia's deadpan Democrat William Spong Jr., 46, who told the girls about some upcoming legislation.

It will be some time before she matches Callas' artistry, but in the florid role...
MAME is an all-out, smash-bang, pull-out-the-stops musical extravaganza that makes up in show-biz slickness what it lacks in artistic originality. Angela Lansbury turns in a fast-paced performance as Patrick Dennis' high-fashion, high-living aunt. But Jerry Herman's score seems to imitate his own past successes; the title song might be called Hello, Again, Dolly...
