...Virgin & the Dynamo. Adams found a replacement for his wife, and a possible mistress, in Elizabeth Cameron, the vivacious wife of the senior Senator from Pennsylvania. "Life is not worth living," Adams once admitted, "unless you are attached to someone." The warmth of their relationship encouraged him to believe that the figure of the Mother is the core of Christianity. In Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres, he credited the 12th century adoration of the Virgin with inspiring the building of the great cathedrals and with giving man happiness he has not had since...
Propped up in bed in a Tokyo hospital, retiring Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda, recovering from a throat tumor, took up writing brush and rice paper. At the plea of his hopelessly deadlocked party, he stroked off a note choosing his own successor.

...wishful thinking is needed to envision a close crew race, it would take a visionary to look for competition. when the Harvard tennis team faces Navy at 2 p.m. Saturday. Last year the Crimson won 7-2; since then Lee Pekary, the little dynamo who accounted for both Navy points, has gone off to sea, or whatever Midshipmen do when they graduate. That leaves a depleted Navy team to face an excellent Harvard squad...
