...jasmine and white lotus blooms, stood a large silver-and-copper urn holding Nehru's ashes.*Reaching Allahabad, Nehru's home town, late that night, the urn was carried in procession through the predawn coolness to the riverbank and loaded aboard a white-painted amphibious "duck." The boat moved out to a spot where the muddy brown current of the sacred Ganges is joined by the green water of the Jumna River. Airplanes circled overhead, and one dived down to shower rose petals.

So the small band zoomed around tiny keys that lie between Florida and Cuba, testing their 24-ft. catamaran and tinkering with their boat's two 100-h.p. Volvo inboard-outboard engines. The Volvos...
...varsity heavyweight crew is not the only Harvard boat that may make news this summer. The J. V. heavies, after finishing an undefeated season and winning its division in the Eastern Sprints, will accompany the varsity light weights to England to compete for the Grand Challenge Cup. (It was just 50 years ago that Leverett Saltonstall's J. V. crew made the same trip...
