MARRIAGE REVEALED. Dan Aykroyd, 30, wild and crazy Canadian comic actor and writer (The Blues Brothers, Trading Places); and Donna Dixon, 25, actress (TV's Bosom Buddies series), who met him last year while the two were making Doctor Detroit; both for the first time; in Chilmark, Martha's Vineyard, Mass.; on April 29. They decided to keep the wedding quiet so it would not be used as publicity for their movie...
...accolades? Dixon holds seven Crimson records in middle distance events. Two years ago he set an American record in the 1000 meters at a Harvard-Yale-Princeton meet.

Because of the metric system, Dixon hasn't had many chances, but few doubt he has the capability to run a sub-four-minute mile. Dixon is likely to have his final chance when he last dons a Crimson uniform for the Cambridge/Oxford meet in England 10 days from now. For Adam Dixon, an athlete who will be sorely missed, the mile record would just be icing on the cake...
