San Juan's big Spanish daily, El Mundo, tried the idea twice, most recently in 1957, dropped the venture when circulation failed to exceed 7,000. Last week there was another entrant: U.S. Publisher Gardner ("Mike") Cowles (Look magazine, Des Moines Register and Tribune) announced publication of an English-language daily, the San Juan Star.

Harvard, however, finished in front by two-thirds of a length in 6 minutes, 58 seconds, the first Thames Cup trial...
