Captain Ed Hamlin will not compete, but beyond this, Harvard is at full strength. Jack Spitzberg will return to competition after a long absence, and will bolster the Crimson in the high jump, which has recently been its one weak event...
Forces for Confidence. A second U.S. businessman who has large interests in Latin America added some fascinating statistics to bolster Rockefeller's case. He was John T. Connor, president of Merck & Co., Inc., which operates pharmaceutical plants in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela.

The Air Force argues that this is no test, since the Viet Cong have only .3O-cal. machine guns to fire at planes. At that, says the Air Force, the Army has had to call for Air Force help to get out of a number of tight spots. Claiming that their ground support has proved efficient in combat, Air Force...
