Premature Exposure. It may have been the fastest evolution in political history. Since he won his third term as Governor in 1966, Rockefeller and his closest advisers have believed that any overt move for the G.O.P. presidential nomination would 1) foreclose any hope of his winning it, and 2) seriously damage any other moderate candidate's chance. During a 1966 post-election vacation at Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico, Rockefeller outlined a plan to fuse factions in the national party from the center leftward in a "consensus" that would provide "practical alternatives to the present Administration" in both policies...
Shrout, along with Pete Adams, team captain Pete Alter and backstroker Al Birch, will be swimming in his last dual meet for Harvard. Shrout was at his best in his freshman year. His fastest times in the 50, 100, and 200-yard freestyle events and in the 200-yard Individual Medley were all set then...
...score so often (an average of two goals every three games), Bobby Hull would still be fearsome. There is not one ounce of excess baggage on his 5-ft. 10-in., 195-lb. frame; physiologists have called him "the perfect mesomorph." He is the fastest skater in the N.H.L. (28.3 m.p.h. with the puck, 29.7 m.p.h. without), and by far the fastest shot: his "slap shot," delivered from a full windup, has been clocked at 118.3 m.p.h., nearly 35 m.p.h. above the league average, and his "wrist shot," fired with just a flick of the stick, zings along...
...lesser basis, has been wrought at Harvard. This year, for the first time in its history. Harvard has a handful of long distance runners who rank among the best in the country. Harvard runners have recorded times in the mile and two-mile that are easily among the 10 fastest collegiate performances this year. A Harvard relay team has to its credit the season's fastest two-mile relay time in the nation on an 11-lap track...
Shaw admits that he runs erratically. But his times speak for themselves. He has run Harvard's two fastest miles this year. He has perhaps more native speed than Baker and is an explosive runner. The first two races he lost to Baker--against Army and B.U.--were early in the season, and Baker is quick to point out that his teammate has progressed more than himself strength-wise since the beginning of the season...
