Coach Halnes declared today that during the week he expected to hold several time-trials for the University and Freshman crews. For the past week, he has dwelt upon coordination and form and he now intends to supplement these qualities with speed...
...Biennial proof that she has survived her own hype? Ever since she arrived in Manhattan 10 years ago from her native London, Brown, 34, has been a perennial rising star. For a while she was also something of an art babe, with spreads in Vogue and Vanity Fair that dwelt as much on her looks as her brushwork.

True, Nash did not quite roost in the exalted company of these Everest nest-dwellers, But he published more than 20 volumes of extremely popular light verse, and if he dwelt in cellars, they were best-cellars. He wrote, he lectured, and he was not too arch or arty To appear as a panelist on TV's "Masquerade Party." He called himself not a poet but a "worsifier," But to me Nash was wit's November breeze or the funnyman...
