...hope for the skiers was the continued improvement of David Rand as a jumper. Of the 14 points accumulated in this event, 11 were won by Rand as he placed 24th. "It has been a long time since a Harvard jumper looked like a jumper in the air, but David does," Hubbard said...

For example, despite Carter's determined efforts to woo Italian votes ("I think it's a shame that someone of Italian background has never been appointed to the Supreme Court"), more than 55% of the Italian vote went to Ford. In the 24th Ward of St. Louis, a predominantly Italian, blue-collar area where 7,000 of the 9,000 voters are Catholic, Carter won by a less than 2-to-l ratio; Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey each took the ward by nearly 3 to 1.

But it was enough, because there were no spillways built into the dam. On the morning of the 26th, Steve Dasovich, head of operations at the Buffalo mine, sent bulldozers to relieve pressure on the dam. It was too late for that, though. When they got to the dam a little before 7 a.m., it was gone. And 21 million cubic feet of water and God knows how many tons...
