Harvard's heavyweight crew, top contender to represent the United States in the Olympics, recovered from a poor start to edge the Vesper Boat Club, its foremost challenger, in a 2000-meter race Saturday in Pelham Manor...
...might have been scripted by Alfred Hitchcock, but the absence of cameras and crew made the scene one of the scariest ever played by Actress Maureen O'Sullivan, 57. Alone in her bungalow in Weybridge, Surrey, after Daughter Mia Farrow, 23, had breezed off to London for the week, Maureen was asleep when two bandits burst into her bedroom, gagged and trussed her with nylon stockings, methodically ransacked the place, and escaped into the night with $13,200 worth of brooches, rings and necklaces.

...earthworks and bamboo racks rather than unwieldy launcher tubes to aim their whispering death on Saigon. Easily broken down into sections-a 2-lb. fuse, a 41-lb. warhead and a 59-lb. motor section-the rockets can be carried by porters, are quickly assembled and fired by a crew of only three men.

The Air Transport Association estimates that delays cost them $50 million last year in extra crew time, fuel costs and other expenses. The A.T.A. also figures that passengers lost another $50 million in wasted time. The problem will become more acute when the jumbo jets are flying. "From the point of view of economy," says TWA Airport Planner Donald Graf, "you can't let a 747 stand around too long. They're so expensive that we've got to get them back...
