...Wagon. Out of the West he jogs, the familiar bleached red shirt and wide-brimmed hat announcing the arrival of John Wayne in his 162nd film. As inevitable as death and Texas, Wayne again plays a hard-nosed, soft-spoken loner-a once-wealthy rancher whose gold-filled land has been stolen in a swindle. Back he comes, seeking revenge with four men foolhardy enough to join him in a scheme to restore his riches: a leathery gunfighter (Kirk Douglas); an outlaw Indian (Howard Keel); an alcoholic kid (Robert Walker) whose favorite mixture is whisky and nitroglycerin; and a wagon...
Just two days before, "Duke" Wayne had celebrated his 60th birthday at the premiere of his 162nd picture, The War Wagon, in Arlington, Texas. Now he was working at Benning without rest through the long Memorial Day weekend to stake out No. 163, The Green Berets. He would prefer to shoot the film in Viet Nam. "But if you start shooting blanks over there," he says, "they might start shooting back." Duke knows.

...Clark fared only slightly better: his one pit stop, on the 95th lap, took 32.3 sec.-and Jones shot back into the lead. Blocked by heavy traffic, Clark was unable to capitalize on Jones's second pit stop; at Lap 150, he trailed by 43 sec. On the 162nd lap, Parnelli pitted for the last time. It was a good one-21.2 sec.-but when he streaked back onto the track, Clark -in the open now and pressing-was only 11 sec. behind. Suddenly, with 25 laps to go, Parnelli ran into trouble: his Offy sprang an oil leak...
...picture a devoted fan when, in the 162nd game of the season, Mickey Mantle of the Yankees (or maybe Ted Kluszewski of the Los Angeles Angels) whales his 61st home run, breaking Babe Ruth's record of 60, which has endured since 1927. He won't know whether to cheer or to shoot himself, and as he alternately chokes on and cries in his beer, he will curse the nouveau riche who made things...
...trained in the South are turned out by a college with only.a wisp of national fame. Its alumni include the presidents of 16 colleges and universities, hundreds of superintendents and principals. This week, on its 60-acre colonnaded campus in Nashville, George Peabody College for Teachers quietly marked its 162nd birthday, and prepared to carry on with the earnest air of an evangelist who knows that there is always another soul to be saved...
