Summary:

POPE JOHN VISITS PRISON Pope John XXIII visits Rome's Regina Coeli Prison. It is an intensely emotional experience for the 1500 inmates as the Pontiff prays in the prison courtyard and then goes among the prisoners with his characteristic warm humor and deep humility. It is one of the outstanding events on a calendar of grueling activities the Pope has maintained since his elevation to the Papal throne. De GAULLE CALLS FOR AUSTERITY: President-elect Charles De Gaulle pays a call on his supporter and predecessor, President Rene Coty, shortly before announcing the devaluation of the Franc and a stringent austerity program. NKRUMAH MEETS NEHRU: Prime Minister Nkrumah of Ghana is greeted by Nehru as he arrives for a State visit to India. The African Nationalist leader receives a cordial reception from Indian leaders and African students. DUBLIN TIGERS: Four abandoned tiger cubs, raised by collie foster mothers, make their debut in the Dublin Zoo, and charm and captivate every Irish heart - despite the cubs' orange-and-black color scheme... SPORTS COLTS TOP GIANTS 23-17 IN SUDDEN DEATH CLASSIC At Yankee Stadium, the National Football League championship turns into a classic contest as the Giants come from behind in the second half to lead 17-14. Then- with just 7 seconds left to play, the Colts' Johnny Unitas masterminds a sensational downfield drive that culminates in a score tying field goal - sending the game into overtime. The Colts rampage downfield, sparked by Unitas' brilliant passing to score first and win the National Football League crown, in one of the most exciting football games ever seen.
