...stories aim to pinpoint trends not yet widely reported, and often turn out to be a scoop when printed. Last month a leader broke the news that a 71-lb. television camera developed by Westinghouse is scheduled to go along on the first U.S. mission to the moon and telecast the trip live. Three times in the past five years enterprising leader writers have won Pulitzer Prizes for such stories as the expose of the commodity market's 1964 salad-oil scandal...

Cameras on the deck of the Wasp picked up Gemini as soon as it loomed below the clouds, photographed its recovery by the carrier, and sent the telecast live via Early Bird satellite into millions of American and European homes.

...Sportswriters called the fight "the mismatch of the decade"; bookmakers installed Clay as the 1-to-7 favorite-and then refused to take any bets. There were rows of empty $7 seats at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens; the 38 theater proprietors who piped in the closed-circuit telecast took their lumps when only 50,000 fans turned out -v. 250,000 who watched Clay demolish Floyd Patterson last November...
