...developed a keen gift for words and also played rugby; and in 1952 set the school record for the discus throw (115 ft. 81 in.). He is remembered at Oxford as a good history student?though his grades were only average?and for a bright red MG sports car, with which he frequently burned up the A40 highway between Oxford and London on weekends. It was only one of several high-speed sports cars that he has owned, and Ojukwu can still hold forth at length on the fine points of fuel injection. "Those were the good days," he says...
Died. Rene d'Harnoncourt, 67, Vienna-born director of Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art from 1949 until his retirement last July; of injuries suffered when he was hit by a car while on a stroll; in New Suffolk, L.I.

Introduced at a time when the deficit-ridden company could barely afford tool-up costs, the hot Javelin will easily sell out its 56,000-car production run this year. Widely raced (it is currently second in nationwide stock-car standings, after General Motors' Camaro and ahead of Ford's Mustang), the Javelin has drawn younger crowds into A.M.C. showrooms. Next year, the company will race the new $3,245 AMX, a 150-m.p.h. souped-up Javelin that competes with...
