Somewhere, somehow, John H. ("Chip") White Jr., 17, heard that inhaling the fumes from an aerosol can of cocktail-glass chiller was a cheap and safe way to turn on. So Chip, the son of a New York advertising executive, began sniffing the stuff. Last week he bought a fresh supply at a hardware store and took it to his house in Greenwich, Conn. He suggested to his sister, Lucie, 11, that they both try it. It was 8 p.m. While their parents sat downstairs, Chip and Lucie went into a second-floor bedroom. When Lucie inhaled...
...Harvard cross-country team goes after its fifth straight victory at 2:30 p.m. this afternoon against Brown at Franklin Park. Senior Bob Stempson may be the key to Harvard's chances, because Brown has three top-flight runners--Jim Wilch, John Coburn and Chip Ennis--and the meet could be decided by the fourth and fifth place finishers.

The Big Board's year-old composite index of all common-stock issues on three straight days eclipsed its May 8 peak of $51.93, reaching $52.18 at week's end.

The Dow-Jones lag reflects the profit squeeze that has hit blue-chip manufacturing firms-a squeeze that only helped to stoke investors' interest in smaller, more volatile issues on the American Exchange...
...take after their mothers anyway, and Catherine's mother, the former Simone Thion de la Chaume, is a golfer-the winner of six French amateur titles. Last week, at the Cascades Golf Club in Hot Springs, Va., chunky Catherine Lacoste proved that she is a pretty fair chip off the old niblick. Firing rounds of 71, 70, 74 and 79, she whipped a field of 56 pros to become the youngest player, the first amateur and the first foreigner ever to win the U.S. Women's Open...
