- Summary:
- THE DOMINICAN REVOLT: What began as a revolution by followers of exiled Dominican President Juan Bosch quickly deteriorated into outright anarchy when leadership was taken over by Communist agents. President Johnson ordered Marines into the country to protect Americans and others. Most of the 3,000 Americans were evacuated quickly and effectively. Within a week, the initial force of United States Marines was bolstered to 14,000 men....including paratroopers. In getting the job done, the Marines push the rebels from their strongholds in downtown Santo Domingo. THE WORLD'S FAIR FROM ON HIGH: There are ways to beat that mean malady - aching feet - while visiting New York's World's Fair....view it from the air! You've got a choice....Helicopter, or go aloft on the Monorail for a bird's eye view. The "IN" experts say this is the speed transportation of the future... but here the tempo is leisurely so that you can get an eye-full. Come To The Fair! SPORTS THE KENTUCKY DERBY: The sun shined bright on the classic horse race of them all....THE KENTUCKY DERBY. This year, the 91st running was given an added (?) attraction when fire broke out in the grandstand. The fire was quickly extinguished and the eleven starters got away in the Run for the Roses. "LUCKY DEBONAIR" got away among the leaders....went to the front in the last turn and just about hung on to beat the oncoming "Dapper Dan". Next, The Preakness, for this Kentucky-bred horse.
