But he could not win. He was fifth. Whitfield's plight was typical of last week's two-day Olympic trials at Los Angeles' Memorial Coliseum...
...this time Maine's Republican leaders, unaccustomed as they are to being out of power, thought they had a match for Ed Muskie. Winner of the G.O.P. primary over two opponents was Willis A.

The elder Saarinen submitted a formal monumental design; Eero's entry was an audacious, 590-ft. stainless-steel arch that looked like a giant, glistening croquet wicket-which he had conceived while bending a wire and wool pipe cleaner. A telegram announced Eliel the winner. The family broke out the traditional champagne to celebrate...
