...BROWN: Brown football turns 100 years old this season, and its no secret that at least 95 of these seasons have been losing ones. The last four have been the exceptions, and this one could quite possibly be the beginning of Coach John Anderson's rule. Anderson has been less than a yard shy of the championship each of the last three campaigns; this season he should have no excuses...
...strongly opposed to the bill, leveling much of their anger at its cosponsor, Representative Donald M. Fraser, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party's nominee for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Muriel Humphrey. But they are also annoyed by Minnesota's other U.S. Senator, Wendell R. Anderson. He had been counted on to champion fewer restrictions in the BWCA, but recently threw his support behind a tougher compromise bill, scheduled for a Senate vote this month, that also cuts back on the use of motorized vehicles...
...first attempt to cross the Atlantic by balloon was made in 1873 from New York City but soon came to grief and earth in the Catskills. In all, some 17 transatlantic tries had been made before last week's successful flight, and seven lives lost. Abruzzo and Anderson themselves tried it last September but had to come down off Iceland, defeated, like the others, by the distance and the weather...

Good friends, they and Newman, a newcomer to ballooning, had spent thousands of hours developing their techniques in Albuquerque, which has become the center of ballooning in the U.S. in part because of its mild weather.

Since ballooning on this scale is an expensive sport (they estimated the cost of their flight at $125,000), the fact that all are wealthy also helped. Newman is president...
...much the same terms that explorers have used for centuries: "Unless frontiers are challenged from time to time-whether they be flying a balloon, breaking an altitude record in a plane or writing a fine piece of literature -we don't move forward as a society." And Anderson described the lure of ballooning: "There are no books or music up there, but there is the whole world to see. It's completely silent, and you move with the clouds. When you come over land, you are standing on a balcony, and the world going by underneath...
