...money U.S. tour. But by one standard, at least, Thomson at 35 ranks as one of the game's top stars: he has probably won more national championships than any other golfer in the world. Last week, to a collection that already includes seven New Zealand Opens, two Hong Kong Opens, the Philippines Open, the Australian Open and the Spanish Open, he added the British Open-for the fifth time...
...bristling 58 sec. final quarter-mile before Mills breasted the tape barely inches ahead. Timers called it a dead heat, and both will get the record, join other winners at Kiev. Among them: Kansas Schoolboy Jim Ryun, 18, whose 3 min. 55.3 sec. mile surprised observers-including New Zealand's great Peter Snell, 26, who had said earlier that he could not "see how a kid of 18 can break 3:56," saw how when his famed closing kick failed and he finished second...

Last week Nauru's elected chieftain, Hammer deRoburt, finished hammering out a contract with its principal phosphate customers-Australia, New Zealand, Britain-that will assure the island's 500 families a kitty of $225 million by the time the phosphate runs out. Under the agreement, deRoburt, 42, more than trebled his people's royalties (to $1.50 a ton, retroactive to July 1, 1964) and extracted yet another price boost (to $1.97), effective next year.

...Zealand surgeons report in the British Medical Journal that they have had close calls with two patients. A man of 68 had been doing well in Dunedin Hospital after a week on an external pacemaker. The surgeons were installing an internal model that was designed to work indefinitely, but when they cut into the patient's heart sac to put an electrode in the heart muscle, the external pacemaker went wild, and the heart twitched ineffectively. The doctors traced the trouble to high-frequency interference from the diathermy machine that powered the electric scalpel they were using. This...
Mais oui! Last week, before 3,000 wildly cheering countrymen at Rennes, he breezed through the mile in an astonishing 3 min. 53.6 sec., chopping a full .5 sec. from the world record set last year by New Zealand's Peter Snell. The week before, Jazy turned a 3-min. 55.5-sec. mile, the seventh fastest in history, and topped that by setting a new European record of 13 min. 34.4 sec. in the 5,000 meters, only 8.6 sec. off Australian Ron Clarke's world mark. Late last week, trying again to break Clarke's record...
