With the score at 65-60, Bill Danner stole the ball and was heading for the basket when Dartmouth's Sam Barton sent him flying head-first into the wall behind the backboard. Danner, dazed, missed both his free throws. With 12 seconds left, Danner tied a Harvard record by nearly going through the other wall...
...Columbia). 'Tis a dark and stormy night. Shouts and shots are heard. Four Yanks jump the wall of a Confederate stockade, grab a Rebel hostage and pile into the basket of an observation balloon. Whack! They cut loose. The balloon soars. "We made it! We made it!" The storm screams derision.

The stones go to a geologist, the bones to a paleontologist, and the flint to an archaeologist. The pale botanist takes a sample of dirt from eastrata, which he centrifuges to recover the pollen grains of plants which grad around the rock shelter thousands years...
...Consumer Price Index is also in for a considerably more basic revision. On the strength of a survey of consumer buying habits in 1960-61, the Budget Bureau hopes in 1964 to change the weightings given to the various items that make up the index's "market basket," to make it a more accurate measure of what it actually costs the consumer to live. The bureau hopes to reflect such shifts in U.S. buying patterns as the increased spending on recreation and services, the decreased spending on household appliances...
