...Olympic physicians from many countries are convinced that acclimation for longer periods, with standard training schedules, really works. The Russians trained at Alma-Ata (around 10,000 ft.) in Kazakhstan before going to Mexico City in October; now they are building improved Olympic training camps at Yerevan in Armenia. The Japanese have camps on Mount Nori-kura in the 8,000-ft. to 9,000-ft. range.

The Santa Fe now offers gift certificates for train-trip presents and, for $12, a meal-ticket book good for all five meals on trains between Chicago and Los Angeles...
...ever begged him to grow up, and he never did. He traveled with a child's restless, wide-eyed curiosity. "Oh what a noble achievement!" he said, riding his first train. "We fly like the clouds in a storm." He met Dickens, Hugo, Dumas, Lamartine, Kierkegaard, Ibsen. "He looks like a large child, a sort of half-angel," said the Irish poet William Allingham. He loved as a child loves: marriage and children were grown-up affairs and not for him. His fears were those of a child: of falling ill, taking the wrong medicine, putting letters...
