...months since eleven unions struck the Florida East Coast Railway over a wage dispute, there have been some 200 acts of sabotage against the line. All told, 82 freight cars have been derailed, a station and a bridge burned, another bridge blown up, and $1,250,-000 damage done in one of the meanest railroad strikes in recent U.S. history. Last week it got even meaner...
...Crimson is a pretty good bet to be out to grab this one tonight. The team has no desire to relinquish the Ivy crown which has been Harvard's for the last three years. Nor are they in any mood to break an eleven-year tradition of not losing to the Tigers...

The Russians' one king size disappointment was the men's 500-meter speed-skating sprint. On form, the race figured to be a breeze for Evgeny Grishin, 32, the world champion, the world record holder (at 39.5 sec.), the Olympic record holder (at 40.2 sec.), a double gold-medal winner at Cortina in 1956 and again at Squaw Valley in 1960. But accidents will happen...
Immortal Inspirers. Actually, the Pre-Raphaelites did not see themselves as holding back the clock. They were rather a band of rebels in a century abristle with dissent. Three young Englishmen founded the movement in 1848, a year of social revolution throughout Europe, eleven years after Constable's death: William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, none over 21 years...
