But at Randall's Island, the East River playground used mostly for track meets and soccer matches, the disturbances did not seem to matter. In three days, 60,000 fans packed the stadium for the fourth annual Randall's Island Jazz Festival, and made it the world's biggest jam session, displacing even the famed Newport Festival.

...South Atlantic (TIME, March 30). In Washington, some 7,000 miles away, a Project Tepee set picked up the shots. The same set had also successfully registered the Teak and Kettle high-altitude thermonuclear explosions over Johnston Island in the Pacific.
