...A.A.U. relays last May in Fresno, Calif., Williams tied the world record (9.1 sec.) in the 100-yd. dash; five weeks later, in Bakersfield, he became the first runner in 13 years to win both the 100 and the 220 in an A.A.U. championship. Last week in Turin, Italy, he swept past the best of Italian competitors to a first-place finish in the 200-meter race...
This week the toes that bind the Continent belong to the aggressive voetbailers of Amsterdam's Ajax club and to the graceful giocatori di calcio of Turin's Juventus team. When they meet on traditionally neutral territory in Belgrade's Crvena Zvezda (red star) stadium, it will be a classic confrontation of styles.

This time Callas appeared on the far side of the footlights as regista of an elaborate production of Verdi's I Vespri Siciliani...
...colorful night marked Callas' debut as a stage director and the inauguration of Europe's newest opera house, Turin's opulent Teatro Regio, which has been rebuilt at a cost of $13 million to replace the original two-century-old theater that was destroyed by fire 37 years ago. Still, no one doubted that it was La Callas, not il teatro, who was the true star of the occasion. The dazzling opening-night audience included luminaries like President Giovanni Leone, but it was "Mar-i-a!" that the crowd shouted...
