...meters, Oakland's great Ray Norton, 22, came from behind with his long, driving stride to finish in 10.4 sec. and barely beat out Villanova's Frank Budd. A tie for third made team mem bers of Paul Winder of Morgan State (Md.) and Duke's Dave Sime, the hard-luck star sprinter who pulled a muscle in 1956 and did not make the Olympic squad. In the 200 meters around a turn, Norton again rallied to win going away in 20.5 sec. to tie the world record...
...meter hurdles, Ohio's sandy-haired Glenn Davis, 25, flashed around the course in effortless stride, eased up at the finish and still won in 50.1 seconds to tie his Olympic record. In the discus, Al Oerter, 24, wound himself into a knot, then exploded for a throw of 193 ft. 9½ in., 2 ft. 10½ in. short of the world record. Whirling mightily, Boston's Hal Connolly, 28, threw the hammer 224 ft. 4½ in., just 11½ in. short of his world record. Patriarch of the U.S. whales, Shotputter Parry O'Brien...
...October for Santa Clara Valley, Calif., where he could absorb the punishing training of Mihaly Igloi, the expert Hungarian coach who defected to the U.S. after the 1956 Olympics.

Congressmen began receiving phone calls from their private physicians, who urged them to vote down Forand's plan but only succeeded in arousing their curiosity. Labor unions scooped up the Forand bill as a major legislative goal. The campaign was helped along when Michigan's Democratic Senator Pat McNamara, 65, longtime (1937-55) president of the Detroit Pipefitters' Local 636, led his Senate subcommittee on aging into eight major cities across the land for well-publicized hearings. It was helped again when...
...Hope. Other cancer experts at the meeting were impressed because, if Dr. Schwartz's work can be duplicated and confirmed, it would mark a giant stride against a disease that now kills 12,000 Americans (most of them children) annually. But Dr. Schwartz agreed that the relationship of virus to disease in leukemia must be far more complex than in common illnesses such as smallpox, influenza, measles and polio; for one thing, leukemia is not infectious. Inherited susceptibility is essential, he believes, while hormones and X rays may be important controlling factors. So, he emphasized, a vaccine against human...
