Upset In Decathlon At Tokyo
TOKYO—(UPI)—An Army rifleman gave the United States its 32nd gold medal with a world record at the Olympic Games today and a West German scored a stunning upset in the men's decathlon.
Then tonight, after $10 \%$ hours of physical torture in national stadium, 24-year-old Willi Holdorf won the gruelling decathlon from an elite field including the American-trained favorite. C. K. Yang of Nationalist China. Leader after five events yesterday. Holdorf grimly held his edge through all five concluding events today.
Amy Capt, Lones Wigger Jr., of Great Falls, Mont., won the three position small bore rifle event for the 72nd American medal that boomed U.S. hopes for an over-all victory over Russia with only four days of competition remaining.
The decathlon, carrying the title of "world's greatest athlete," had gone to an American in every Olympiad since 1932 but the best Yank tonight was Paul Herman of Santa Barbara, Calif., who finished a surprising fourth—one not ahead of Yang whose chances had been damaged by a change in the scoring system shortly before the games began.
Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1964
Holdorf wound up with a total of 7,887 points. Rein Aun of Russia finished second with 7,842 and another German, Hans-Joachim Walde was third with 7,809.

Our editorial eye lights this month on paperbacks that are frankly, unabashedly timely. The first provocative case in point is THE RADICAL RIGHT (Anchor, $1.45), a symposium which draws on the talents of nine distinguished sociologists and political scientists, including David Riesman, Peter Viereck, Seymour M. Lipset, and the book's editor, Daniel Bell. Contributors comment specifically and significantly on the perennial recurrence of extreme rightist movements in America; the radical right in '60s politics; the revolt against the elite; climates of tolerance and intolerance in England and America; and, inevitably, the John Birch Society. It's an objective, incisive study and eminently worthwhile.
Equally timely, is Paul Bohannan's AFRICA AND AFRICANS (Natural History Press, $1.25). Paintstakingly separating myth from fact, Professor Bohannan (of Northwestern's anthropology department) surveys colonialism and the slave trade; tribes and families; markets, politics, courts, religions, and arts; and the nature of Africa's new nationalism and neutrality. Most reviewers have agreed with the N.Y.Times Book Review critic, who cited this as "perhaps the best short general book on Africa."

We suspect that folk and freedom songs will outlast even the ever-present "Hootenany." A hundred convincing reasons for this have now been collected by Edith Fowke and Joe Glazer in Songs OF WORK AND FREEDOM. (Dolphin, $1.95). This oversize, but perfectly portable paperback provides words, music, history and guitar chords for 100 songs of social protest from"The Cutty Wren" (England, 1381) to"We Will Overcome" (U.S.A., '64)...from standbys like "Casey Jones" and "Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill" to "My Sweetheart's the Mule in the Mines." It's an amazingly complete, irresistible collection.
The three books reviewed above are published by the sponsors of this column, Doubleday Anchor Books, 277 Park Avenue, New York City, and The Natural History Press, Garden City, New York. You'll find them all at one of the best equipped booksellers in the country - your own college store.
