Bragg, who was backstroking for the first time this year, was a pleasant surprise for Coach Bill Brooks, especially since he also copped the 200 yard event. Harvard has long lacked a competent backstroker, but Bragg may well fill that void...

...land for base camps will also be a problem. A good rest area is essential: even the long-inured Vietnamese seldom stay out in the field for more than 24 hours at a stint. Finding dry land to implant batteries of howitzers is difficult. More armed helicopters could fill the gap, but they require airports, which in the Delta must be built up with imported gravel.

...each performance apart from the problem of age is almost like discussing the career of Quasimodo apart from the Inquisition. Yet the actors as individuals cannot be held responsible for their collective failure. Within the all-too-Hasty-Pudding concept of the whole production, some of the cast members fill their parts quite competently.
