...never discuss matters affecting members of my family with total strangers," he erupted. "You sent some hired hack-of yours to see me this morning to discuss with me the topics you wished to discuss-you pretend it's all unrehearsed. This was not one of those he raised. I do not intend to discuss it with you. You are a total stranger to me and I suppose the few hundred people looking in at this small television station, which has not yet managed to get itself network, that they are most of them strangers...

There was a second of excitement when spectators spotted a red-shirted stranger sailing over the pole-vault bar set at 15 ft. But before they could look up his name-Melvin Schwarz of the Baltimore Olympic Club-an announcer took the triumph away. Schwarz was only practicing. Perennial 15-footer Don Bragg, World Champion Bob Gutowski, Schwarz and Ohio's Jerry Welbourn all fouled...
