PROVIDENCE, R.I., Oct. 7--There was a fast rising cloud of dust over the Providence cross-country trail today as Crimson runners one after another ploughed through to a crushing victory. Coach Bill McCurdy's team posted an 18-71-74-79 score in its quadrangular meet with Brown, M.I.T., and Tufts, respectively...

Then, suddenly, the dispute over Cyprus was a nasty, swelling storm of the kind that takes lives, topples governments and jeopardizes alliances. By last week, with Cypriots and Greeks inflamed against Britons, and with Greeks and Turks torn apart in a revival of an aged hatred, the case threatened to crumble the long southern flank of the NATO defense network.

It showed three faint stars embedded in a cloud of dust and gas. At last week's Dublin meeting of the International Astronomical Union, Dr. Herbig displayed a recent picture of the same region. The picture showed five stars, two of which may be newborn. The light from the new stars, of course, took 1,600 years to reach the earth, so the stars were actually born...
