...GUATEMALA, Castroite terrorists have been exploding bombs, killing policemen and invading small towns with worrisome frequency. The latest outrage was the machine-gun murder two weeks ago of the country's Vice Minister of Defense. Colonel Enrique Peralta Azurdia, head of the country's two-year-old junta, has declared a state of siege, and is considering postponing the presidential election promised for fall...
Cook it rare. At post time, the odds on Bold Lad were 1-2-despite the fact that last year's two-year-old champion had raced only once since last October, had never run around two turns, or gone the 1½-mile distance of the Wood. He had been laid up all winter with painful "splints," tumor-like growths on his shinbones.

Then there was Bold Lad, brightest star in Mrs. Henry Carnegie Phipps's Wheatley Stable, the top money-winning stable in the U.S. ($1,073,572 in 1964). A son of Bold Ruler, "the fastest horse in the world up to nine furlongs," Bold Lad seemed like a chip off the old block when...
...real test of the year will come March 26 at Brandeis, during the New England Women's Intercollegiate Fencing Tournament, where the 'Cliffe will defend its two-year-old team championship. The Cliffles should have no trouble holding on to the victor's cup, however, since they are in exceptionally good shape after their practice with the Harvard varsity fencers last week...
