...Councilman Dellums won votes for his antiwar stand and picked up another bundle when Spiro Agnew called him a "radical extremist." "If being an advocate of peace, justice and humanity toward all human beings is radical," he responded, "then I am a radical." Completing his second term and probably en route to a third as Democratic Congressman from California's Eighth District, Dellums still leans far to the left; he was one of only eight House members to earn a perfect score in the latest rating of the ecology-minded League of Conservation Voters.

...Boak, stroke of this year's undefeated Eastern Sprints champ junior varsity boat, replaced McKenna at two. Tim Hackert, also on the J.V. boat, took Howard's place on the starboard side.

He has been getting a hero's greeting at small towns en route. He has also been treated at three hospitals for blisters and muscle strains. In Flora, Ill., where TIME'S Dick Woodbury first caught up with the long-distance roller, Shaw was made an honorary citizen by the mayor. In most towns he is besieged by autograph seekers and frequently treated to a free...
