...first was at Corvallis, Ore.; Lind-gren's time was a so-so 29 min. 37.6 sec. One month later, at the U.S.-Russia track meet, he shaved 20 sec. off that time. Last week he ran the fastest 10,000 meters run by an American all year: 29 min. 2 sec.-winning by 70 yds. and waving happily to the wildly cheering crowd. No one, least of all Lindgren, has the foggiest idea how fast he can really run. "I'm not sure I can do any better than 29.2," Lindgren says. "But I sure hope...

Last week, at the Foreign Ministry in Budapest, Monsignor Agostino Casaroli of the Vatican's Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs signed an agreement with Hungarian Bureaucrat Jozsef Prantner that will provide a small but significant bit of breathing room for the country's 6,000,000 Roman Catholics...

He boxed, ran the 880 on an intramural track team, but produced a so-so scholastic record and in 1927 graduated 286th in a class...
...went off the road at 107 m.p.h., putting him in the hospital for 96 days with a broken pelvis, a spine injury, a concussion and assorted internal injuries. That ruled out such sports as football and basketball. But he could still play golf, and after college he turned pro, with so-so results: in five years, he won three tournaments, created his biggest splash in 1962 when he wound up third behind Nicklaus and Palmer in the U.S. Open...
