Yale missed a big opportunity to take the lead early in the third quarter when it jumbled the ball on the Harvard six. Eager Harvard linemen rushed through to knock the ball loose on the handoff...
...York City's reform Democratic movement theoretically lives on, but most of its excitement is gone and many of the bright, upper-middle-class Stevensonians who infused it with their energy have drifted away. In 1961 the reformers, eager for tangible political power, supported Robert F. Wagner for re-election, thus treating the city to the spectacle of an incumbent Mayor running on a platform of "throw the rascals out." This listless coalition of reformism, and the more palatable elements of the machine hasn't really worked; the reformers have gotten less than the half a loaf they hoped...
...Moscow and possibly making Moscow more dependent on the West. Others, notably West Germany's former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, feel that the West should trade with Russia only in return for cold war concessions. Washington believes that this policy is not feasible, if only because U.S. allies are eager to trade with the Reds, are scarcely even willing to rule out strategic items that NATO specifically forbids. Western European exports to the Soviet bloc last year climbed by 10% to $2.2 billion (compared with U.S. sales of $125 million). What Washington worries about is not the sheer volume...
...view of big talk and big organizations. "You get civil rights for breakfast, lunch and dinner," says a Princeton student. "I'm sick of it." Concrete, man-toman effort is another matter. Yalemen recently traveled all over Mississippi to register Negro voters. This fall 1,000 eager Harvard students volunteered for civil rights work-notably in the Northern Student Movement's tutorial program. Tutoring Negro children is this year's top project at campuses from Reed to Vassar to Wayne State. "This isn't like a one-shot freedom ride," explains an enthusiastic Wayne coed. "This...
Cast Iron & Silver. Bored with string quartets and big orchestras, Barshai set out to build an 18th century chamber orchestra that he hoped would do justice to the "more profound" composers-Bach, Vivaldi, Handel and Mozart. He found plenty of recruits eager to put up with his tough discipline. To achieve its tight togetherness, the group practices six days a week, eleven months a year. And the work is all the tougher because Barshai insists that all the instruments (save the harpsichord and cellos) be played from a standing position, just as in Bach...
