There was nothing muffled about the opening gun of the "Salute to France." Nor were Parisians sure that they liked everything they saw. But that U.S. art packed a wallop, no one any longer disputed...
...Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, Harold Johnson, a glass-jawed light heavyweight who held the title in his. hands for 14 rounds last summer before he blundered into Archie Moore's murderous right, uncorked a wallop of his own, flattened Joe Louis' protege Paul Andrews in six rounds and moved one step closer to another crack at Moore. ¶ In New Haven, Conn., Yale's 400-yd., free-style relay swimmers got the university's annual water carnival off to a fast start by splashing to a new world's record...

For five days she minced slowly northward in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast, while along the shore hurricane flags went up, storm shutters slammed down, and everybody waited breathlessly.
