...Harvard hockey team handed Coach Cooney Weiland his 100th Ivy League win in dramatic fashion last night, edging Brown, 3-1, at Watson Rink. The Crimson held a precarious 2-1 lead until Bob Fredo lit the lamp and the candles on the team's victory cake with 84 seconds to play...
Looser Reins. On the eve of its 100th birthday, Canada is surging with unprecedented prosperity-a prosperity that its American next-door neighbor is scarcely aware of. That ignorance is doubly ironic since it is largely because of U.S. capital investment-$8 billion in the past decade-that the Canadian boom was launched. Much of that ignorance will be dissipated during 1967, Canada's centennial year, when Americans in considerable numbers will head north of the border to visit Expo 67, the Canadian world's fair in Montreal. Just how considerable is far from clear. Expo has counted...
When the centennial bells ring out, wildly, in the tiny outport churches of Newfoundland, in the cathedrals of Quebec City, in Peace Tower on Parliament Hill, in prairie steeples and out to the West Coast, they will ring in a 100th year that Canadians should indeed find a cause for cheer. In the sound and fury of the centennial celebrations, Canadians are bound to hear echoes of their own success in turning the wilderness into a thriving nation...
Part of the N.R.A.'s membership drive to mark its 100th anniversary ("We're shooting for a million members") in 1971, the ads accurately describe F.D.R. as an N.R.A. member who shared the organization's concern for conservation and the proper use of firearms. What they neglect to mention, however, is that Roosevelt (one of seven U.S. presidents who have been shot at by would-be assassins), was a longtime advocate of strong gun laws. As Governor in 1932, F.D.R. vetoed two bills that attempted to emasculate New York's tough Sullivan Law, which remains...
...grimly pathetic reassurance in the face of what happened at 2319 East 100th Street last week. In an incredible, nearly soundless orgy of mutilation and murder that took place in the early hours, a single male intruder herded together and murdered, one by one, with packinghouse precision, eight pretty student nurses. The Windy City's greatest mass slaughter since the St. Valentine's Day tommy-gun massacre of seven gangland hoods in 1929, it was by any standard one of the most horrifying crimes in U.S. history. Even to Chicago police - inured to every form of sadistic death...
