Hundreds of miles away, Marie Tippit, widow of the Dallas policeman who was shot to death while trying to question Kennedy's assassin, spent the pre-Christmas weekend decorating a tree at home with her three children, Allen, 14, Brenda, 10, and Curtis, 5. But on Christmas Day she left Dallas for visits to the outlying homes of her parents and her husband's parents.

The Venetian Affair, in fact, is likely to do more for the CIA's image than a dozen apologias by Allen Dulles. Take the CIA man who tries to enlist the reluctant critic in the international struggle...
...mile race, and by captain Ed Meehan in the mile run. Hewlett's stronger over longer distances than two miles but, if he has a good day, it could be quite a race. Meehan, also, can be counted to make Straub run for his points. Bill Crain, Dave Allen, and John Ogden will probably also pick up some vital points for Harvard in the middle-distance events...
