...soldier he fights strictly from a desk. All Sandor really has to do is run, and he does that so well that he now holds five world records (from 1,500 to 5,000 meters). In sports-happy Hungary, excitement boils any time he shucks his sweat pants and gets to work, for Sandor is the star of a small, gaunt band of five trackmen* whom Hungarians confidently expect to win them third place in the 1956 Olympic Games at Melbourne, Australia...
...Sweat at the Oak Bole. In Treece's version, King Arthur becomes Artos the Bear, a barrel-chested brute with blue dye on his cheekbones.* He is plowing his father's fields with a brace of bulls when blind old Ambrosius, one of the last of the Roman legionaries, by title the Count of Britain, stumbles upon him.

Hurdlers twisted into weird calisthenics all over the infield. Here and there some exhibitionist dropped into a handstand, presumably to loosen his legs. Hordes of officials in boiled shirts hardly had room to get out of their...
Happily, long years of practice have made the dedicated track fan proof against the distracting discord on the floor. Somehow he can spot his favorite in the welter of colored sweat suits. Last week Parry O'Brien was not the only record breaker he had to watch...
