Miss World 1960 - an amalgam of news reports - A 21-year-old black-haired, brown-eyed beauty from Buenos Aires won the Miss World title. She said that being a woman, she’d probably spend the prize money for clothes. She also hoped to turn her Miss World title into a film career. Norma Gladys Cappagli, a professional model measuring 36-23-36, was chosen over girls representing 38 other countries. “I’m just too astonished, and so, so happy,” she gasped, blinking into the flash bulbs of photographers. As first prize Miss Cappagli, a model, received 500 pounds ($1,400) and a blue and white sports car, but that was only the beginning. “Winning the contest can earl a girl 10,000 pounds ($28,000) in all the advertising and extras,” a contest official explained. Second place went to war orphan Gila Golan, 20, who was born in Poland but taken to Israel during the war. She competed as Miss Israel. She got a sports car and $280. Third was Miss South Africa, who received $210. Fourth, Miss Germany, who got $168. Fifth, Miss United States, who got $140. Judith Ann Achter, 18, of St. Louis, Mo., said that she thought the Miss World contest was more exciting than the American presidential election held on the same day. She said one of the reasons was that she is too young to vote.	Finland & Sweden	Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland
