...with red tape and interservice tensions in his joint command, four-star Air Force General Earle E. (for Everard) Partridge drew up plans months ago for reorganizing NORAD, the U.S.-Canadian North American Air Defense Command. His principal complaint: he did not have enough authority over assignment of NORAD's Army, Navy and Air Force officers and materiel (TIME, May 19, 1958). But nothing much ever happened about West Pointer Partridge's proposals. Fortnight ago, the Pentagon announced that able "Pat" Partridge, 58, was retiring from the Air Force, effective July 31, after 41 years of service...
...moneymen: a high rating. Notified by ABC that prime Monday-night time would no longer be available next season, and with no adequate substitute time on CBS or NBC, Voice will almost surely die in June.

Then, 150 yards from the tape, Eli Tom Cathcart challenged, but Mullin, in a dramatic show of determination, pulled away to win by five yards. His time was 4:17.8, an excellent performance considering the soggy condition of the track...
...Slowik, an 880 man, who had never before run the distance in competition, against the varsity's Dyke Benjamin and Jed Fitzgerald. Benjamin led almost from the start, until in the final lap, when Eli Jim Wade passed Benjamin, only to be caught again 150 yards from the tape by both Benjamin and Fitzgerald. It semed as if the Yale gamble had failed, when Slowik came from no-where in the stretch to win by two yards in the meet record time...
