...meters down, the Harvard varsity took the two-boat battle it had waged with Navy and made it a one-boat show for the rest of the course. A strong move to end the first 500 meters gave the Crimson the Navy bow ball and later an open-water lead at 750 meters down, an advantage Harvard would only increase as the three crews crossed the midway mark. Navy hung in second and Penn made up ground to make a push for second place. The Crimson, however, turned Saturday morning into a time trial against itself.“It?...

...chronic unwillingness to compromise. If the U.N. is to become an effective organization, its members must be willing to meet halfway on their individual aims and lend support to laudable efforts such as the creation of this council. The U.S. cannot expect the scores of other member nations to bow to its desires; a negotiation of over 100 countries requires concessions in the name of progress. Though this new council may not conform to the American vision of a perfectly composed body, it undoubtedly represents an improvement from the former commission, whose members were nominated by regional groups and often...
