...Utah, Incumbent Republican Senator Arthur V. Watkins, 71, easily won renomination over a political nobody, but now faces double trouble. By starting early, indefatigably stumping the state from one end to the other, Salt Lake County Attorney Frank E. Moss, 47, won the Democratic nomination by an unexpectedly heavy vote (total Democratic vote was 5,000 greater than total Republican). And waiting in the wings until November is ex-Governor J.

After Melvin graduated, the family moved to Seattle where he interned...
...sounds and smells of speed blistered the white Bonneville salt flats of Utah. Engines revved up to blatting roars. Whiffs of alcohol and nitromethane mingled with the tang of high-octane gas. With anxious care, some 200 men in oil-blotched coveralls coaxed their handmade cars to bellowing perfection-long, low, lean monsters with as many as three engines crowded beneath their sleek hoods. In the tenth annual speed trials that ended last week, the world's hottest hot-rods were shooting for 300 m.p.h. on the world's fastest race course...
