...Southern Cal's Paul Wilson, 19, hardly looked strong enough to bend a vaulting pole, let alone provide any serious competition for U.S.C. Teammate Bob Seagren-who only two weeks before had set a new world record of 17 ft. 7 in. Wilson, who learned to vault using bamboo from neighbors' yards, soared 17 ft. 8 in. to beat Seagren's mark by an inch...

...this very first intrusion of commercialism into reading skills the "recognized authorities" began to bend to the task of exposing the claims of speed reading quacks. First of all, even though such things as the fixation time could be reduced in practice by ten per cent, the carryover to natural reading situations was disappointingly small. Also, it was shown that the part of the retina sensitive enough to see the printed line can accommodate clearly only about one-half inch of any printed line. Optometric research has proven that letters one-half inch from the exact point of fixation...
