Ohio: Democratic Governor Mike DiSalle has temporarily forgotten his pique at the Kennedys (who threatened to demolish him in a primary race unless he played Back-Jack), has put his bulk behind the ticket.

The scores rise year by year: Harvard's current freshman class's median score was 691 on the math aptitude test, almost 100 points higher than the class of 1956. But real "intellectual promise" may be something else, suggested the committee. And all the emphasis on numbers has an ominous effect...
