From Hong Kong to Paris to New York, TIME correspondents filed their contributions. In London, Bureau Chief Curt Prendergast tried to track down Lord Harlech; in Dublin, a stringer searched out the remaining Kennedy relatives. Washington's Bonnie Angelo, summoned from a Detroit union hall where Hubert Humphrey was promising higher social-security pensions, hurried eastward to deal with the world of million-dollar yachts and $3,000 dresses. From San Francisco, Bureau Chief Judson Gooding filed a personal reminiscence on the Jackie he knew when they were both students at the Sorbonne...

...which hardly promised one of the most phenomenal single performances in track and field history. In 1935, Jesse Owens set a long-jump mark of 26 ft. 8¾ in. that stood for 25 years. Since 1960, Boston and Ter-Ovanesyan have between them broken the record six times, but managed to increase it by a grand total of only 8½ in. Then came Beamon. He charged down the runway and powered off the board, hands and arms flapping like a giant awkward bird. His body jackknifed, his legs spread-eagled before he slammed into the pit. When...
