Channel swimming makes no special splash these days, so Australia's Linda McGill, 21, showed up in France with a new gimmick. A free-spirited Olympic swimmer who was banned from competition after riding a bike into the Japanese Imperial moat, Linda announced that she would tame the Channel clad only in goggles and bear grease.

When the rioters began stoning and sniping at firemen trying to fight the flames, many Negro residents armed themselves with rifles and deployed to protect the firemen.
