Summary:

MODERN CAVEMAN: 28-year-old David Lafferty, former RAF Intelligence Officer, sets a new world record for staying underground alone. He lived 400 feet beneath the surface in Goff Cave, Cheddar, England, for 130 days, beating the old record by four days. He burned 850 candles and read 200 books! SPORTS MODEL AIRPLANE MEET: The U. S. Navy is host to the 35th Annual National Model Airplane Championships at the Glenview, Illinois, Naval Air Station. Entries from every state and a dozen foreign countries put their aircraft through some fancy paces. Radio-controlled flights are most popular. INTERNATIONAL MARATHON: In Spain, the First Annual International Marathon is held. Olympic champ and world record holder Abebe Bikila goes against runners from Belgium, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and Spain. Bikila wins easily in three hours, 20 minutes and 28 seconds, almost his record time in Tokyo. FOUR-DAY MARCH: In the City of Nijmegen, Holland, walking has been refined to an art. For half a century, the four-day walk has been an annual event. In the line of march are men, women, and children, military units, sports clubs, and citizens. The oldest walker is 85. They sing as they march.
