Burly and barrel-chested, with massive thighs and 16½-in. calves, New Zealand's Peter Snell, 23, is a country boy who dotes on sweets (honey, barley sugar). Unknown when he turned up at the 1960 Olympics, Snell upset Belgium's Roger Moens in the 800-meter run-and set an Olympic record in the process. Ever since, he has trained steadily, runs 100 miles a week over pock-marked mountain trails. Now, when he chooses to run on a track, Snell is the fastest middle-distance runner in the world.

Going upstream from Lake St. Francis, ships will move into the Wiley-Dondero Ship Channel, rise a total of 90 ft. in the Snell Lock and the Eisenhower Lock ("Ike's dike," in seaway slang), pass on into the new, still unnamed lake. At the western end of the lake, a 5-ft. lift in Ontario's Iroquois Lock will hoist westbound ships into the calm waters of the upper St. Lawrence for easy steaming upstream to Lake Ontario...
