...past 182 years, Britons have engaged in a strange vernal rite. Armed with a strong reading glass and a stronger curiosity, they amble attentively through the scarlet-and-gold-bound thickets of Debrett's Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage & Companionage, the annual compendium of who's who in the British aristocracy. The sport is more sedentary than bird watching, but the discoveries can be just as fascinating. Take this year's 6-lb., 3,202-page edition, which made its appearance last week...
...from Pakistan that five jet-borne immigrants started Britain's 1962 epidemic of the more virulent and deadly form of the disease, variola major, that claimed 62 victims and caused 24 deaths. Suddenly, Britain, which had abolished compulsory vaccination in 1948, had to scrap its small annual vaccination budget of $650,000 and stage a $3,800,000 crash campaign.

...merger master of U.S. railroading, who, as president of the Chesapeake & Ohio, proved for all time that two-or even three can live more cheaply than one, in 1963 paired his successful coal-hauling C. & O. with the deficit-ridden Baltimore & Ohio, thus producing a $65 million combined annual profit within two years, and this year (pending ICC approval) adding the Norfolk & Western line to build a network that in track (26,460 miles from Maine to Nebraska) and annual revenues ($1.82 billion) would rank as the nation's second biggest, next to the newly joined Pennsylvania New York...
Mark Bramhall '65 has won the annual Dana Reed Prize for the best writing in a Harvard student publication. Bramhall, a former president of the Harvard Dramatic Club, received the $100 award for an act from his play "The Reprisal," which appeared in the Advocate last spring...
