...only he had stopped right there. Who else, after all, has ever scored 100 points in a single night or averaged 39.5 points per game throughout a seven-year pro career? Wilt never stops there. "I am also the greatest boxer and the greatest miler and the greatest weight lifter and the greatest shotputter and the greatest bowler and the greatest cook and the greatest lover," he says. It took his fellow pros a while to realize that they could vote for one item on Wilt's list without buying all of them. Last week they elected...

Into its full-scale mockup, Lockheed put a completely equipped instrument panel, hooked...
...Brenan, a 69-year-old Englishman who has lived for most of the past 44 years in Spain, has none of the usual credentials of the autobiographer. He has not pushed a pirogue to the headwaters of the Orinoco or crossed Kurdistan on yakback; he is not a weight lifter, a defector from or to Communism; he never became the white god of some overcredulous tribe of aborigines; he does not have the lives of 10,000 better men lost in battle to explain away; he is not a busybody determined to pad the record of a long life spent...
