With both men, aggressive wrestling has become a necessity, partially because of their heights (even for light-weights they are noticeably shorter than most opponents). To escape the groping arms of lankier, taller wrestlers, they have to shoot their own moves first...
...sure, Bao Dai is not typical. A large percentage of the Vietnamese came to France in 1940 to work on farms or in factories. Some 5,000 are students (64 from North Viet Nam). In general, the expatriates are taller, heavier and have better teeth than their countrymen back home. Part of what a Catholic priest has described as "an unprecedented brain drain from an underdeveloped country" is an estimated 1,200 lawyers, 600 doctors (more than in all Viet Nam) and 300 engineers. High-ranking exiles include Three-Star General Nguyen Van Hinh, the army chief of staff...
...their surface similarities, the two men are markedly different. Kennedy is coldly pragmatic, Lindsay stubbornly principled. Where Kennedy has a sharper wit, the mayor has an easier humor. While Lindsay is taller and undeniably handsomer, Bobby has The Name. Though both wear an affluent air and came into family money-an immense advantage for a man with political ambitions-neither is hurt by the aura of wealth.

Against Missouri last week, he completed eleven out of 20 passes, for 204 yds. Even so, he is hardly a one-man team. Halfback Farr is a legitimate All-America candidate who has aver aged...
...matter. Moscow's tower is already taller than the Eiffel Tower, and when it is completed a year from now to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1917 Revolution, it will be 1,722 ft. high, 250 ft. more than the Empire State Building. Muscovites will enjoy dining in its revolving three-story restaurant. Distant viewers will love having TV programs beamed directly from Moscow over the Urals to Vladivostok and Yakutsk. And Aeroflot pilots will be mad about it: with its antenna tips swaying 23 ft. in the wind, it will be the greatest aviation obstacle in Moscow...
