...sides keep watch on the choke points. At the same time, surface ships frequently shadow one another. Cruising aboard the Roosevelt recently, TIME Correspondent John Shaw was startled to come on deck one morning to find that during the night a Soviet Kashin-class destroyer had taken station 500 yds. away...
...hotshot out of Essex Catholic High in Newark, N.J. At the A.A.U. championships that year, Liquori streaked home in 3 min. 59.8 sec. to shatter the four-minute barrier for the first time in his career. The crowd cheered-but not for Marty. He finished seventh, a full 70 yds. behind Ryun, who set a new-and still unbroken-world record of 3 min. 51.1 sec. for the mile.

Jamais have the margins of victory been so consistently great. In a sport that measures superiority in hundredths of a second, the French have been winning by as much as three seconds-the equivalent of ten lengths in horse racing or 50 yds. in the mile run. In the first downhill race of the 14-week World Cup series, Henri Duvillard won by well over a second. At Berchtesgaden, Germany, Jean-Noel Augert swept the slalom by a margin of nearly 2½ sec. And in the giant slalom at Val-d'Isère France, Patrick Russel nipped...
