Little Compensations. The trouble with being a hero is living up to it, which for Clark means living on a dead trot. After his triumphant win at Clermont-Ferrand last week, Jim flew directly to London, spent most of a day processing requests for autographed photographs from U.S. fans. Then it was off to Reims for a business appointment, back to England for a day of test driving at Silverstone, and back to Reims again-this time to practice for a July 4 Formula II race. Ahead on the schedule: a Ford junket to Switzerland, a race in Britain...
...with so few words. Protectively accompanied by diplomats and her lady in waiting, Denmark's tall (5 ft. 8 in.) Princess Benedikte, 21, whirled through a hectic six-day goodwill visit -her first trip to the U.S. At a ball celebrating Danish Week, she danced a quiet fox trot with her honor guard of four West Point cadets, and looked unflustered when she turned out to be taller than her official escort, Carl Michaelsen, president of the Danish American Society, Inc.

...town. Selma's jails, said Clark, were already full, so he intended to take the kids to the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge six miles away. Brandishing billy clubs and electric cattle prods, Clark's men forced the children into a quick step and then a trot as Clark bellowed: "You like to march so much, so we'll let you." Several youngsters dropped out, vomiting. Clark's first set of deputies wearied-and were relieved by others, who had been trailing in squad cars. The children's march went on for nearly three miles...
