...shown a chart during instruction which has the numbers one to four in green numerals down a column. Beside them is a drawing of how the parachute opens during each of these first four seconds. In an imperceptibly more alarming color, purple maybe, are the numbers five and six. Farther down are an enflamed red and yellow twelve and fifteen. Furthest down is a deep magenta seventeen...
...Thanks for the high-camp comic relief, "On Running New York" [Nov. 1]. The counterpoint of describing Lindsay laughing over a column on "pseudo intellectuals," and then having him quote Dickens and Yeats was inspired. For those of us who have heard hizzoner try to articulate without a script, this new-found eloquence came as a real surprise. Add a wife who sounds the dinner bell in French, sherry for lunch, and a picture of our boy John in tails at the Met, and you have the ingredients for a clever burlesque of J.F.K. and Jackie...
...three of those states; California was absolutely crucial. New Jersey only went to Nixon with a big assist from Wallace, who drew 250,000 votes in the Garden State.

...cent interview with the shadowy Alfred Winslow Jones, father of Wall Street's current investment sensation, the hedge fund (whose profit-at-high-risk philosophy aims at taking advantage of both upward and downward swings of the market). Touches of humorous erudition are sprinkled throughout. A regular monthly column, for example, is called "Haruspex," for the Roman soothsay ers who divined the future by poking through the entrails of sacrificial animals...
Winthrop House, last year's Straus Trophy winner, finally got into the win column legitimately this season with a 6-0 tackle football victory over Quincy. The Puritans only other win this year was a forfeit triumph against Dudley House. Halfback Jack Fitzgerald followed Walt "Little Moe" Morrissey through the line for the only score in yesterday's game. Winthrop is currently in seventh place in the intramural tackle football standing, and is doing almost as well in touch football and soccer, capturing last Place in both sports...
