...sudden sense of a city's voice upraised. But things seem oftener picturesque than intense, and windy rather than Aeolian. The finest moments have the comic smack and grizzle of Juno. A trio of codgers snort and wrangle gloriously, and go right on snorting and wrangling while they crouch on the floor to avoid what may crash through the windows.

At the gun, Shelley Mann, an Arlington, Va. schoolgirl, lit out in an angry, ungraceful crawl. Four laps and 58.7 seconds later, she slapped the pool wall, winner of the 100-yard final at the National A.A.U. Senior Women's Indoor Championships...
