Next week

The generalissimo of the Chinese Bandits, Paul Dietzel of Army, now goes up against Navy's tricky Wayne Hardin. An incisive portrait of Dietzel and a preview of the big game.

The windiest fighters in the game, Cassius Clay and Archie Moore, meet in Los Angeles to settle the incidental matter of which one is better with his fists. Gilbert Rogin reports.

Nassau speed weeks produce a collection of characters who are as much fun as the cars. Artist Marc Simont finds the scene a sporty one, and gives it the brush—his very best one.
