...Angeles last week, the two friends staged a furious duel that for drama even overshadowed two world record performances - a 17-ft. 6¼-in. pole vault by John Fennel, and a 2-min. 59.6 sec. clocking in the 1,600-meter relay. After nine grueling events, Russ Hodge led Bill Toomey by only 146 points, and Toomey struggled grimly through the 1,500-meter run knowing that he needed to beat Hodge by at least 21 sec. to get enough points to pull ahead. Breaking the tape, he collapsed exhausted on the infield grass and waited for Hodge...

Says Hansen: "You know, he never did give that darned pole back...
...outside his single iron-roofed room, the doctors, nurses and native helpers of his hospital at Lambaréné gathered to sing hymns, then came in to offer their good wishes and presents. At the birthday breakfast, the dining-room table was gay with sprays of leek and fennel, a clump of eggplants, a few cabbage leaves-for Doctor Schweitzer does not approve of cutting flowers, or killing anything that is not needed for food. Later in the day, the patients brought their presents: a handful of nuts, a newly laid egg, a piece of fruit...
