...Papa, were you to do a Mr. Jordan this season and go to Madrid, how confounded you would be. Last week the annual Fair of San Isidro was at its peak. Yet two of Spam's best matadors were not even there, although that 16-day burst of bullfighting is the World Series, Davis Cup competition and The Ashes of cricket all folded into one. El Cordobés and Palomo Linares had defied Los Siete Grandes, the seven biggest ring owner-agents, who henceforth intend to control the sport by setting fees and scheduling matadors. For that...
...North, remains officially anathema in South Viet Nam; at least one politician is still in jail for having advocated it as a solution of the war.

Simultaneously, at the University of Denver, Sophomore David Shapin, 19, organized 200 of his fellow students and began corresponding with interested students, college newspaper editors and Congressmen. Bitter editorials began appearing in the campus press, and letters by the thousands rained on Congressmen and airline executives. Both the National Student Association and the Campus Americans...
...returning midfielders, so they adapted former attackmen and hoped that the sophomores would work out. Yale was 1-2 before it started to jell and won its final three contests to share the title. The Elis worked hard out there Saturday, controlled the ball, and passed with a fair amount of competence, taking advantage of opportunities. Of course they had more incentives. The championship was within range, and coach Dick Corrigan was coaching his final game in a long career. But they did it before a large Harvard crowd...
