Moreover, Nixon kept a weather eye on U.S. diplomatic and information people in African countries. He made no bones about the fact that some of them did not seem to live up to his standards.

But pleasantly surprising was the fine performance of Crimson sophomore John Hammond, who came from behind to edge out John McGill of Syracuse in 56.8 seconds. Although this time cannot be recognized as a new Harvard record, since...
