Yale crushed Harvard, 41 to 14, in 1952. Forty of the Elis' points were not particularly galling--after all, the Bulldogs had lost only two games that fall, and no one had given the Crimson much of a chance of contain them.

Wigged and white-ruffled, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod summoned M.P.s to hear Queen Elizabeth's dissolution speech.

In his most formal black hat he welcomed Polish Communist Chief Wladyslaw Gomulka at the rainswept Byelorussian station for an important party visit.
