Nehru usually spoke without notes, ramblingly and frankly. At an Overseas Press Club luncheon, asked if he wished his remarks to stay off the record, he cracked: "How can you be off the record to 500 people?"

Cambridge police, smashing a highly-integrated gambling ring, which has been organizing College sportsmen for high-finance green baizery, have dealt a tolling blow...
...editors are divulging in their very first issue all kinds of hot Cantabrigian fashion tips for the benefit of their nation-wide audience. "From Harvard we find a continued preference for conservatism," they proclaim...
