Galeski devoted his freshman year to making first boat. He was a JV cox last season and will find out this week whether he'll be a JV or a varsity cox this spring. Galeski notes that crew is a large burden because of the incredible amount of practice time it requires. "Sometimes I have my doubts as to whether it's all worth it, but then again, I enjoy crew...
...staff was treated to clear evidence of his delight with the House defeat of funds for the big plane: from inside his suite in the New Senate Office Building could be heard the voice of the usually taciturn Proxmire singing Bill from the old musical Show Boat. His office reflects his personal style-sparsely furnished, its green walls completely devoid of pictures or decorations. The only homey touch is the hot plate used to make his breakfast at the office after his 4.8-mile run-not a jog-to the office and 200 pushups. At 55, Proxmire is nearly...
...best-trained ship captains. Despite his seven years' previous experience as a tanker master, Europoort's Huib Jansen was not allowed to take command until he attended a "captain's school" in Grenoble, France, site of the 1968 Winter Olympics.

But once on the lake, Antonio begins rocking the boat spasmodically, pathetically slapping at his wife with an oar, muttering all the while, "An American tragedy, An American tragedy." There is more here...
...Adams House serves a fine scotch broth, and a passable clam chowder. It was over a bowl of the latter that the young Radcliffe woman, fresh off the boat from the 'Cliffe (a small girls' college in Cambridge) met the young Harvard man, up for a day from the Yard (an esoteric prison camp, not to be confused with the expression "thirty feet long and a Yard wide," in which yard refers to a small green mammal). "Hello," he said, "do you live here...
