Hoyt was the featured speaker at the Club's fall organization meeting, where George O'Day, Olympic yachtsman and a friend of Harvard sailing, also reported on the progress of plans for a new Club float on the Charles River Basin.

To produce livestock and truck crops, the hacienda is worked by 500 Indian peasants known as colonos...
...proprietors here," said Lou Gottlieb, Ph.D., last week to an audience at Manhattan's Basin Street East, "have asked that we knock some of the polish off our act. We have succeeded beyond all dreams." This was, in a sense, true; for Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev and Glenn Yarbrough, a folksinging trio called the Limeliters, have sung and quipped their way into an expanding fortune by establishing themselves as antonyms of showbiz gloss.
