Weary, ready for dinner and bed, Bill started to leave the field, only to find that he had one more trial to pass-the urine test. Checkups for dope are now mandatory in the Olympics, and for decathlon athletes the tests were given at the end of each day. Because he was totally dehydrated, Toomey had to hang around the stadium drinking liquids until he could supply officials with a urine sample...
...German measles, was a national disaster. Rubella virus is as deadly as thalidomide for the unborn, and the epidemic left an estimated 30,000 babies marred for life by cataracts, deafness, heart malformations or mental retardation. Ever since, virologists have been racing against time, trying to perfect and test an effective rubella vaccine that can be marketed soon enough to avert the next predictable epidemic, expected in early 1970. Last week it appeared certain that the U.S. would have at least three different vaccines in time...

One imagines them wandering into the Square after a mug or two at the Wursthaus, kicking at snow drifts, and frightening couples with high-spirited shouts, pausing to test each other's memory of obscure verses. It is only speculation, but perhaps in the end they were held together by their refusal to become the mute weighers of evidence that a proprietous respect for their profession demanded they be. They never pretend that the subject matter can speak for itself...
