...Crimson grabbed a quick 7-0 lead the 400-yard medley relay. Dick Thomkins fishtailed past Penn's Bill McCurdy in the butterfly leg, and Steve Coy eased by on the anchor leg to complete the first Harvard win since exams in a fast...
...Bruce Bradley, the unlikely disc jockey, the polished performer, is one side of WBZ, then Dick Summer is certainly the other. Bradley, for all his sensitivity about being a disc jockey, comes out sounding like the closest thing WBZ has to a big beat New York City deejay.

From Herb Shriner to George Gobel to Andy Griffith, dozens have twirled the same line - and still left enough rope for their lineal descendant, Dick Cavett. In a Greenwich Village nightclub last week, Cavett, 29, recited the doleful tale of his country boyhood in Nebraska. The story, as he tells it, is comical enough, and perhaps just true enough to serve as his public autobiography...
