When Maurice Gordon announced March 12 that he was withdrawing a $500,000 gift from the B.U. School of Nursing, SDS quickly hailed the event "a very real victory."

Frank Hurt, former Middlebury ski captain, won the grand slaloms...
...demolish him under any circumstances, with or without previous opposition in the primaries. Second, Kennedy by virtue of his name and reputation must rack up overwhelming margins to equal the impact of McCarthy's 42 per cent in New Hampshire: if the Kennedy charisma proves less dynamic in the event than in the propaganda, Kennedy will be committing premature political suicide...
