...Mark Twain. According to a favorite Fiedler theory, the true rebel was the private Sam Clemens as opposed to the public entertainer Mark Twain. Never these twain will meet-or part. The Second Stone is a skillfully contrived dramatization of this dichotomy. Clem is the defiant Huck Finn who has "lit out for the frontier" with his big "no" to "the world of mothers." Mark is Tom Sawyer, the pseudo rebel "with a note in his pocket to Aunt Polly" saying he loves her (the U.S.) after...
...York, the Soviet Union's rubber-legged broad jumper, Igor Ter-Ovanesyan, casually smashed Ralph Boston's old record with a prodigious leap of 26 ft. 10 in. The pole-vault record has been boosted five times by four different vaulters, the last a muscular Finn named Pentti Nikula, who soared an incredible 16 ft. 8¾ in. How much faster, farther and higher can the athletes go? Lots, it seems...
...Maycomb County-and by Maycomb County she obviously meant the South. Of what was fearful she framed an Alabama melodrama that etched its issues in black and white.

In this film Director Robert Mulligan and Scenarist Horton Foote have translated both testament and melodrama into one of the year's most fetching and affecting pictures...

"It came as no surprise to me," said the wiry Finn, who last June set the outdoor record of 16 ft. 2½ in.: "I am in top shape, and I'll shoot for 17 ft. next time...
...Oregon's Bob Duden, 42, gave golfers something new to discuss. A little-known pro who has never won a major tournament, Duden uses a bent-shafted pendulum putter that he swings between his legs like a croquet mallet, in the same manner once espoused by a Mickey Finn comic strip character and hopeless duffer named Duffy. But for Duden the croquet stroke works fine. At the Monterey Peninsula Country Club, he birdied five of the last six holes for a third-round 67 that suddenly shot him into the lead over a field that included Palmer, Player, Nicklaus...
