...Dick Daley, Candidate Austin had obvious merits to outweigh the fact that outside of Chicago he is practically unknown ("Who is he?" asked a dismayed downstate delegate when the word first got to Springfield).

He has few enemies in the party, and his personal life-as family man (three sons), Chicago attorney (since 1926), assistant state's attorney (16 years) and judge (since 1953)-has been impeccable...

For a short time, the little prince and his brother were seen...
...Needled by Communist bigwigs, Russian track and field stars turned on the heat in the last few days of Moscow's Spartakiada sports festival. A runner virtually unknown in the West, Semyon Rzhishchin, lowered the world 3,000-meter steeplechase record to 8:39.8. Soviet swimmers dropped the 4OO-meter medley relay mark...
