...Harvard freshmen, after a narrow loss to an excellent St. John's team, should handle the Dartmouth freshmen, even though the Big Green has two fine players in 6' 5" forward Robin Derry and a 6' guard from New York City James Brown...
...reverberations were unlike any seismic event on earth, Columbia University Geophysicist Gary Latham offered a plausible explanation. The effect may have been caused, he said, by a layer of rubble or fractured rock sandwiched between bedrock in the floor of the Ocean of Storms and a solid cover of fine material deposits above. Lacking dampening fluids or gases, the layer of rubble may have acted as an echo chamber in which the seismic waves reverberated. If so, the next big seismic event on the moon should be a scientific spectacular; the third-stage rocket of Apollo 13's Saturn...
ENFORCEMENT: Contracts are legally binding, and LO officials deal harshly with any wildcat strike, threatening to expel an offending local from the national union. They are backed by labor courts, which have the power to fine individual strikers. When 1,000 longshore men walked out at Gothenburg last month in Sweden's first sizable wildcat strike in 20 years, they prudently announced in advance that their protest against piecework wages would last only one week...
...lottery. Nixon says, gives us a good indication of our chances for induction. Ever concerned with our psychic well-being the SSS has "reduced" to one year our liability and has tipped its hand on how badly it wants us. But the fine print effectively destroys any new sense of security. Any board can proceed as far down the date-ranking as it chooses. And if you do manage to escape your year of prime liability, you are shuffled into a "secondary pool" of eligible I-A's until age 26 (35 if you've held a student deferment since...
HUMOROUS objects in both buildings fell into two categories: works of visual humor and three-dimensional drawings of literary witticisms. While plenty of fine, hard-to-handle glazes and well-made vessels were shown, the ceramicists (concentrated at Boston University) seemed to be the chief jokesters among craftsmen. In his six-foot high "Alice House Wall" Robert Arneson builds earthenware "stones" into a picture of a landscape with a ranch house. But its humor isn't in the subject-it's in the way the "stones" jostle and hug each other, and how the different blues, greens, oranges, pinks...
