...Yard, the Glee Club is singing Bach's Mass in B Minus. I become aware of a faint pulsing rhythm out of time with the music. El Forbes continues to conduct, but the pulse grows louder, more intense--it is obviously the sound of marching feet and many hoarse voices shouting. Suddenly a flank of students rounds the corner of Widener. I can hear their chant now as they bust through the lines of the Glee Club, and enter Widener...
Rough mud walls proved to be covered with strange and intricate paintings almost too faint to be seen. Painted gods and goddesses emerged from lumps of clay, and scraps of charcoal-like material turned out to be the remnants of food that the ancient people ate, pieces from clothes they wore. By putting the pieces together, Mellaart reports in the latest journal of the British Institute of Archaeology, at Ankara, what he has learned about how people worked and played and worshiped at Çatal Hiiytik 80 centuries...
There isn't much experience in that bottom foursome, and McGill should give them a tough test this year. Last year the Crimson trampled them 9-0, but two years ago it was a much closer 6-3 match.

Navy and Coast Guard helicopters and planes...

Blake started out by simply trying to untangle a peculiar phenomenon that he had been observing for a few months: faint positive images that unaccountably appeared on sheets of film. He was sure that the reaction was caused by any one of countless chemicals in his photo lab-but which one? Working day and night under the red darkroom lights, he dabbled with hundreds of dyes and compounds. Finally...
